Comparison of Different Natural Fiber Reinforced Concrete: Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
In recent years, a great deal of interest in concrete leads to the most frequently used construction material in the world. The fiber reinforcement can effectively improve the toughness, shrinkage and durability characteristics of concrete. Out of commonly used fibers, easily available low cost natural fibers can be used. In spite of many of the researchers of using different natural fibers to improve the different properties of light weight concrete still required a lot of research as well as investigations. The present work consists of the comparison of different natural fibers. The slump, compressive strength as well as flexural strength were compared for these natural fibers. It was observed that oil palm trunk fibers shown very good results not only for compressive strength but also for flexural strength. This work is only an accumulation of information about GFRC and the research work which is already carried out by other researchers.
