Abstract
High cost is dominating factor of conventional construction material which affecting in the housing
system as an alternative method to overcome this drawback. Natural fibres, coir fibre has maximum amount of lignin giving maximum strength as well as are durable in nature. This paper presents an experimental study of coir fibre concrete and its strength comparison with plain cement concrete. Reinforcement of concrete is necessary to enhance its engineering properties. For this study, coconut fibres were used as they are freely available in large quantities. It is necessary to make research any alternative material. The study comprises of comparative statement of properties of coconut fibre reinforced concrete with conventional concrete based on experiments performed in the laboratory. The coir fiber concrete decreases the cost and increase the strength of concrete. In the study found the optimum fibre content to be 1% ,3%,5% by weight of cement) The addition of coconut fibres improved the compressive strength of concrete by about approximately 13% they also formed good bonding in the concrete. Further work is required by changing the fibre content and aspect ratio to determine the optimum range of fibre content so that fibre reinforced concrete can be used where high compressive required.
