Fiber Reinforced Concrete Using Sisal Fiber

This research work involves the topic of adding natural fibers to the concrete to study the strength properties and observe whether the propagation of shrinkage problems is reduced. Basically, there are two types of natural fibre. Natural inorganic fibres like asbestos, basalt, etc. as well as natural organic fibres like banana, bamboo, coconut, palm, pine, kenaf, jute, sisal, sugar cane, and so on. Natural fibres are studied as construction materials by different researchers and can be used in cement, mortar or concrete in building materials. This research work may include the characteristics of sisal fibre, its properties and also compatibility of fibre(sisal) and compares its nature of fibre- free concrete and concrete with natural fibre(sisal). But it also to compare and draw the conclusion of the proportion of different fibres cement. This study summarizes the comparison and difference between fiber- free concrete and concrete with natural fiber(sisal).
