Enhancing Concrete Properties With The Use Of Coconut (coir) Fibers And Admixture

Abstract In countries where industrialization is on the rise there is a corresponding increase in waste production resulting from industries which eventually upsetsthe environment and community for which they provide. While most of these waste generated are hazardous and should be managed, others could be put to appropriate use either directly or after been recycled. Most agro-waste can be recycled and be used asraw materialsfor manufacturing various products. This research is designed to investigate the effectiveness of the use of coconut fibers (coir) as a micro-reinforcement in concrete. Th…
