Wall paneling system Mohammad Hisbany Bin Mohammad Hashim (2005) tested wall panels made of gypsum and cement as binder and coconut fiber as the reinforcement. Bending strength, compressive strength, moisture content, density, and absorption were investigated. Coconut fibres did not contribute to bending strength of the tested wall panels. Compressive strength increased with the addition of coconut fibres, but the compressive strength decreased with an increase in water content and density was increased. There was no significant change of moisture content with coconut fibres. However, moisture content increased with time. There was also no significant effect to water absorption on increasing coconut fibre content.
