Abstract :

This work aims to study the behavior of natural fibers mixed in concrete as a reinforcing material for improving the mechanical properties of concrete. Several studies were conducted on natural fibers, and their reference papers were studied for comparative study in this research. The varying percentage of natural fibers (Jute, Bamboo, Coconut) was taken e.g., 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%. Natural fiber reinforced concrete is tested for their compressive, flexural, and split tensile strengths respectively for different curing periods such as 7 and 28 days. It is observed that the NFRC specimens with 1% natural fiber content, cured up to 28 days have a significant improvement of mechanical properties w.r.t conventional concrete.
