Strengthening the Properties of Concrete using Banana Fiber and Coconut Fiber
This is an experimental research on the homes of coconut fibers and banana fibers mreinforced concrete with simple concrete of M20 grade. Fiber strengthened concrete is a composite cloth consisting of combinations of cement, mortar, or concrete and discontinuous, discrete, uniformly dispersed appropriate fibers. Some of the fibers that may want to be used are metal fibers, polypropylene, nylon, asbestos, coir, glass and carbon. Fiber reinforcement is oftentimes used to supply longevity and ductility to brittle cementations matrices. Natural fibers such as coconut fibers and banana fibers broadly reachable global in massive quantity. This find out about offers use of agricultural waste fabric into concrete, which stronger the residences of concrete and makes surroundings eco friendly. The addition of coconut fibers and banana fibers extended the engineering residences of the concrete sturdiness and tensile strength. Coconut fibers and banana fibers are environmental pleasant and existing essential attributes such as low density, mild weight, low cost, non -corrosiveness, excessive tensile strength. In this find out about coconut fibers 80 and banana fibers 20 as composite had been brought to M20 grade concrete in specific share 0 , 0.5 1.5 , 2.0 , 2.5 , by way of weight of cement. The widespread cubes, cylinders, and beams for traditional concrete and coconut fibers and banana fibers bolstered concrete had been organized and examined in the laboratory. Mechanical homes such as compressive, break up tensile and flexural power have been determined. The end result suggests that, compressive strength, cut up tensile energy and flexural energy marginally improved.
