Abstract |
|
The use of sustainable materials in construction is growing. This study investigated the effect of incorporating 0.5, 1 and 2% coir fibre content on the compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength of concrete. The flexural strength, splitting tensile strength was determined at 28 days while the compressive strength was also determined up to 28 days following relevant code procedures. M25 concrete and Fe415 steel were used to prepare the sample. Since the incorporation of coir fibre in concrete reduced its workability and has no effect on the density. Coir fibre slightly improved the compressive and tensile strength of concrete, especially at 1%. Therefore, that 1% of coir fiber is used to prepare another set of specimens to investigate the effect of coir fiber content on the flexural behaviour and shear behaviour for 28 days. |
