Experimental Investigation on Influence of Natural Fibres on Strength Properties of Concrete

Considering global warming issues in the environment, nearby a rapid growth in research and innovation in the natural fibre composite area. The natural fibre composites have major advantages over the synthetic-based fibres. Beside the low cost and the light weight, bio-based polymer composites (natural Fibres) gained more attention due to their renewability and biodegradability. The natural strands, for example, coir fibre, palm fibre, kenaf fibre, jute fibre, sisal fibre, banana fibre, pine fibre, sugarcane fibre bamboo fibre, and so on. The present study investigates the influence of jute fibres and coir fibres on concrete by varying mix proportions by partial replacement in cement. The experimental work on concrete was conducted by varying the mix proportions of fibres in concrete by partial replacement in cement. The strength properties of concrete were executed and the results are tabulated. The test is performed for various mix proportions and are tabulated. The comparison of the results is done with the normal concrete. The recent inventions say, the use of natural fibres in concrete or partial replacement in cement has a distinct advantage over the synthetic fibres. Because of its vast effect on the concrete, the natural fibres especially jute fibre can be used for any structural purpose.
