Abstract

Fibres have the property to enhance the toughness of concrete. The cost of construction has skyrocketed together with the deteriorative impact on setting. This resulted in the adoption of a more balanced approach with the environment as its nerve centre to create a better world to live in. This has led to the adoption of a Fibre like Coconut for the strength sweetening in concrete. Coconut Fibre is obtainable in abundance, which makes it quite viable as a reinforcement material in concrete. This Report presents a experimental discussion on the subject of coconut Fibre reinforced concrete (CFRC). This study aimed toward analyzing the variation in strength of coconut Fibre concrete at variable Fibre contents and to establish it with that of conventional concrete. The various strength aspects analyzed are the tensile and compressive strength of the coconut Fibre concrete at variable percentages (1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%) by the load of cement of Fibre. This research is based on the use of coconut Fibres in structural concrete to enhance the mechanical properties of concrete
