Experimental Study of Light Weight Concrete Using Natural Fiber
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The overall goal of this research is to investigate the behavioural study of natural fibre in concrete structure. The coir fibre recently attracted an interest as a sustainable fibre composite material, due to some specific mechanical property which can be compared to artificial fibre. The Coir fibre is treated using natural latex before using in concreteso that it is not be affected by moisture content presented in concrete. In this experimental study of 28 days the compressive strength and tensile strength are carried out using different coir fibre length of 6mm, 12mm and 19mm of different percentage as15%, 25% and 35% with water cement ratio 0.5.Encouragement should be given for the use of natural fibres which are locally available materials, in the field of civil engineering.
