Optimization of Coconut Fiber in Coconut Shell Concrete and Its Mechanical and Bond Properties [PDF]
Materials, 2018 Coconut shell concrete is one of the recently established lightweight concretes. This paper discusses the optimization of adding coconut fibers in both coconut shell concrete and conventional concrete. Coconut fibers at different aspect ratios of 16.67, 33.33, 50, 66.67, 83.33, and 100 and volume fractions of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% were tried.
