Coconut Fiber-Infused Concrete: A Natural Boost For Strength And Durability
Keywords:
Mechanical Properties, Eco-Friendly Materials, tructural ensile Strength, Coconut fiber.Abstract
The growing demand for stronger and more cost-effective construction materials has led to the exploration of alternative reinforcements that improve mechanical properties while maintaining economic feasibility. Coconut fiber, an abundant natural material, has
emerged as a potential reinforcement for concrete due to its ability to enhance toughness, crack resistance, and impact strength.
