The Compressive Strength of Coconut Fibers Reinforced Nano Concrete Composite

Abstract:

The compressive strength of the concrete reviewed in this study uses nanosilica and coconut fibers. The addition of coconut fibers to concrete contributes to the construction of sustainable and environmentally friendly building materials. The testing method carried out physically and mechanically. Testing the compressive strength of the nanoconcrete composite with variations in the amount of nanosilica which substituted with cement. Using variations of nanosilica composition, namely 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% added with coconut fiber to determine the effect of compressive strength from nanoconcrete composite. The results obtained are the optimal value of concrete compressive strength with nanosilica is the addition of 2% nanosilica, which increases 43% of standard concrete. Moreover, on concrete with the addition of nanosilica and the addition of coconut fibers 1% test results in concrete compressive strength which is optimal in the addition of 0.5% nanosilica, which is 58% increase from normal concrete. The conclusion of this study that the addition of nanosilica and reinforced with coconut fiber will increase the compressive strength of concrete, this is an excellent composite material to get environmentally friendly building materials using.
