A Study On Improving The Performance Of Concrete Using Coconut Fibers
Abstract: The aim of this study is to explore the incorporation of coconut fiber into M30 grade concrete and assess its impact on the strength characteristics. A literature review of different fibers is conducted and highlighting the working parameters. This research focuses to explore the efficacy of employing coconut fibers as micro reinforcement in concrete. The investigated properties encompass the compressive strength of the coconut fibers reinforced concrete (CFRC) at different …

Enhancing Mechanical and Thermal Performance of M30 Concrete with Carbon Fibre Reinforcement
Abstract: This study examines the influence of carbon fibre incorporation on the mechanical properties of M30-grade concrete. A series of experimental investigations were conducted to assess the effects of varying carbon fibre content on compressive, split tensile, and flexural strengths. The results indicate a significant enhancement in mechanical performance with the inclusion of carbon fibres, with the optimum fibre dosage identified as 0.75%. At this content, the concrete achieved a peak …

Crystallinity of commercial carbon fibers from X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies
Abstract: Sized carbon fibers have commercial significance. Such carbon fibers serves has excellent reinforcing material with the polymer resin filler matrix leading to the formation of carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRCs). Polarized carbon fibers find applications in the realms of health, energy, environment, defence, catalysis and smart materials. For brevities sake, the focus of the current research paper is only on the structural characterization of carbon fibers using XRD. The structure …
