A Review on Degradation Improvement of Sisal Fiber by Alkali and Pozzolana for Cement Composite Materials

Journal of Natural Fibers
Sisal fiber employment in concrete improves its post-crack strength, but sisal fiber degrades due to moisture and cement mineralization. Many researchers used alkaline and pozzolanic techniques to treat sisal fiber in cement composite materials. However,
