Natural Fibers in Concrete – A Review

Abstract

Abstract The latest thesis deals with the issues of natural fiber in order to observe the strength properties and even a reduction in the replication of the shrinkage crack problemsin concrete. The organic fibers such as coir, palm, kenaf, jute, sisal, banana, pine, sugarcane and bamboo etc. Various researchers are studied as building materials that can be found in cement paste, mortar, concrete. It was observed that the results of few fiber are most promising and given below. The present work focuses to improve the ductility and strength properties of concrete on bringing out. The same proportions of different fibers cannot be changed by all the normal concrete. This research may include the characteristics, behaviors and consistency of the fibers between themselves. Finally, the study focuses solely on similarities and variations between all kind of natural fibers. The goal of this analysis is to provide an analysis of the factors influencing the overall performance and reliability. The proportions for comparisons and conclusion were studied.
