| Article Name : | | | OPTIMIZATION OF COCONUT FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE: EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH, ULTRASONIC PULSE VELOCITY, AND WORKABILITY | | Author Name : | | | Ranganath T V L and N. Syed Aleem | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ROR-15162 | | Article : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | Although the concrete is strong in resisting the compressive stresses, it is weak in bearing the tensile stresses. Various fibers both natural and artificial fibers can be added to the concrete to improve the ductility of concrete. In the present investigation the concrete mix M40 was designed as per the IS standards. Different percentage of coconut fibers 0%, 0.5%, 1.5% and 3% were added to study the behavior of concrete. | | Keywords : | | - Concrete mix design,,Coconut fiber,,Compressive strength,Ultrasonic Pulse velocity,
