Recent progress in the application of coconut and palm oil fibres in cement-based materials

Cementitious materials are widely used in the construction industry. These materials have high compressive strength and huge environmental effects but low tensile and flexural strength. Thus, researching these materials to make them environmentally friendly is very important in terms of the sustaina...
