Description
Summary:This paper examines and discusses the capacity of fibre concrete to stop fractures, particularly microcracks has long been recognised. Concrete made of natural fibres was one approach to utilise leftover natural fibres while also creating sustainable materials. In several civil engineering applications, fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) has shown to be quite effective. The use of fibre reinforced concrete has so far been successful in a number of uses, including graded slabs, architectural panels, precast products, subsea buildings, constructions in seismic regions, both thick and thin corrections, guard rails, footings, hydraulic structures, and many more. Fiber reinforced concrete is becoming more and more common as a practical way to improve the performance of concrete (FRC). Concrete that contains fibrous material to strengthen its structural integrity is known as fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). The use of coconut fibre (Coir) should be preferred over steel due to its inexpensive cost, ability to be recycled, lack of corrosion, low heat conductivity (natural cooling), strong strength and low weight ratio.
