Abstract:
This Research paper discusses the comparative study between Fly ash based coconut fiber concrete with plain cement concrete of M40 grade. This research paper deals use of the agricultural and industrial waste material into concrete, which enhanced the properties of concrete and make environment eco-friendly. The fly ash is replaced with the cement as 10, 20, and 30% and coconut fibers are added additionally by weight of cement in the proportions of 0, 1, 1.5, 2 2.5, 3%. The diameter of coconut fiber is varies between 0.25 to 1.0 cm and length is taken 4 cm. The results shows increment in compressive strength of concrete by adding fly ash and coconut fiber together into concrete. Separately adding of coconut fiber and fly ash does not show significant results.
