Strength behaviour of Corn Husk Ash polymer concrete reinforced with coconut fibre

The strength behavior of Corn Husk Ash polymer concrete reinforced with coconut fibre was investigated in this study. The study assessed the suitability of using coconut fibre in concrete to improve its strength properties. The concrete was prepared and cured based on British Standard. Different pro...

The study assessed the suitability of using coconut fibre in concrete to improve its strength properties. The concrete was prepared and cured based on British Standard. Different proportions of the coconut fibre as well as the Corn Husk Ash (CHA) polymer were used in the concrete mixes, with a total of nineteen different mix proportions. The specimens were cured for 28, 90 and 180 days. Compressive strength, tensile splitting strength, torsion and toughness were determined using specimens from the various mixes. Tests were conducted on the 28th, 90th and 180th days of curing, following (Compression) and (Tensile Splitting). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test was conducted to determine the differences in the behavior of the different mixes as well as the correlation between the different constructs.
