NATURAL FIBER
Improvement in Concrete Properties by Natural Fibers
Compressive strength – Increased about 10%
Tensile strength – It is improved compared up to 1.78%
Flexural Strength – Increased about 25 – 30%
Split Strength – Increased up to 25 – 30%
Impact strength - Improved and better resistance to wear and tear
Permeability - Improved permeability by inclusion of fibers
Corrosion – Better resistance to atmospheric effect compared to normal concrete
