Abstract:In light of the issues pertaining to the rising cost of raw materials and depleting natural resources resulting from the production of conventional construction materials, as well as that pertaining to disposal of wastes in the agricultural industry, reinforcement of concrete with organic fibres has to be further explored. Coconut coir fibre is an organic fibre that has a high tensile strength and can potentially be employed in fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC). In view of the potential of employing coconut coir… Show more
