Abstract:

Now a days to ensure sustainability low carbon emission environment friendly products are considered widely around the world. In the construction field, artificial fibres has been researched and used since long time. They are detrimental to the environment due to being non-degradable, non-renewable and high oil consumption. Therefore, there are thoughts to replace them with the natural fibres. In this paper, sisal fibre is considered and are used within 8 mm thick plaster of masonry column. In order to gauge the contribution of sisal fibre within plaster, comparison with unplastered and plain plastered columns are carried out. Two samples of each are considered. The outcome of the experiment revealed that the 8mm thick sisal reinforced plaster column was more ductile and it can be found 1200% and 27% improvement in failure load from unplastered and plain plastered column, respectively, when subjected to out of plane lateral load.
