Abstract
The presence of bamboo fiber has been distributed to improve the structural integrity of construction. It has been used to resist impact loads and reduce crack widths in composite materials. This can be utilized for reinforcement in construction, particularly in mortar elements. Bamboo fiber has been used to resist impact loads and reduce crack widths in composite materials. This can be utilized for reinforcement in construction, particularly in mortar elements. By combining good treatment with alkaline NaOH, the quality of the fiber used as a mortar mix will increase and the capacity to absorb impact energy will be greater. In this study there were 2 stages, the first stage was to look at the effect of the effective length of bamboo fiber and alkaline molarity. The effect of treatment using alkaline is to reduce the lignin and hemicellulose substances which reduce the bond in the mortar mixture. The optimal value for the Pull-out test, which involved manipulating the molarity of NaOH as a treatment and the effective length of bamboo fiber, was determined to be 2.5 cm of embedded fiber or a total length of 5 cm when 4 molar NaOH was utilized. All fiber bamboo-composite bars had a cross section of average at 1×1 mm. And the second stage tested Charpy for impact load resistance in mortar with the optimum effective fiber length while varying the alkaline molarity. The objective of the Charpy impact test was to determine the optimal quantity of bamboo fiber to be incorporated into mortar when subjected to impact loads. standard Charpy impact test specimen is 55×10×10 mm in dimension. Experimental data show that the effective length and treatment of bamboo fiber affected the bond strength with mortar. A proportional relationship was observed between the addition of fiber to the mortar and an increase in compressive strength; The research findings indicate that the lowest modulus of toughness is 0.329 MPa, or equivalent compressive strength at 15.583 MPa, while employing 3.25 % bamboo fiber in mortar with a fiber length of 5 cm and a 12 % alkaline treatment
