Effect of fiber length variations on mechanical and physical properties of coir fiber reinforced cement-albument composites (CFRCC)

This paper evaluated the effect of fiber length on the mechanical and physical performance of coir fiber reinforced cement-a1humen composites (CFRCC). Albumen protein was added as a hinder and the coir fibers with the lengths of 0 (control cement composite). 2.5. 5, 10 and 20 mm was used as partial...
