Sustainable Production of Concrete using Coir Fibres

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract This paper reports the investigation conducted in India using coir fibres as an additive substance used in the preparation of sustainable concrete mixtures. It is meant to be used as energy-saving building components. The coir fibres were added in different percentages 2%, 4%, and 6%, and to compare the results of these the ...

BIOINOCULANTS FOR COIR RETTING

CORD, 1995
The mesocarp of the coconut or its husk is the source of coir. Coir fibre has several potential end uses like for the manufacture of various coir products predominantly coir floor coverings, yarn, rope, rubberized coir and latest as geotextile material ...

Coir and Hop Fibres: Tensile Characterization and Comparison Between Fibres from Distinct Climates

, 2022
Human behavior has significantly affected the climate. Because of that, the pursuit of new alternatives for non-renewable materials has increased. In that scenario, the use of natural fibre to substitute synthetic ones in composite materials has also increased. In this work, two types of natural fibres from different regions and climates were evaluated

Using alternative waste coir fibres as a reinforcement in cement-fibre composites [PDF]

Construction and Building Materials, 2020
Wood-wood cement boards (WWCB) have been extensively used as ceiling tiles or insulating walls thanks to their good thermal and acoustic properties. Nowadays, the trend is to use sustainable materials like waste fibres. These waste fibres are widely available at a low cost and despite their good properties, are usually landfilled or incinerated.

Performance Evaluation of Lateritic Subgrade Soil Treated with Lime and Coir Fibre-Activated Carbon

Applied Sciences, 2022
The subgrade layer’s stability considerably influences the long-term performance of pavement systems. This study investigates the influence of lime as a traditional stabiliser and activated carbon with coir fibre (ACF) as waste materials and an ...
