Wet coconut fiber as an additive in concrete mixture

Concrete is one of the materials that is widely used in construction all around the world. This material is used because it has several benefits such as, more durable, energy-efficient, low maintenance, affordability, fire-resistance, excellent thermal mass and also versatility.

The workability of the concrete was tested by using slump test.. The slump test was conducted when the concrete mixture still fresh. For compressive strength, the test was conducted to know the strength of cube concrete with different percentages which are 1% and 2% compared between normal concrete. A total of 27 cubes with 150mm×150mm×150mm were used to determine the compressive strength of concrete with addition of wet coconut fiber.
