Experiment Study: Sisal Fiber Reinforced Concrete

, 2023
One of the main fields of research that is becoming more and more relevant is fibre reinforced concrete. Fibers are used to enhance the tensile qualities of concrete without reducing its compressive strength. This study attempted to examine the impact of natural sisal fibre on concrete by partially substituting cement.
