EFFECTS OF TREATMENT OF COIR FIBER AND CEMENT/FIBER RATIO ON PROPERTIES OF CEMENT-BONDED COMPOSITES
This study investigated the effects of different treatments of coir fibers (Cocos nucifera L.), and cement:coir ratio on physical and mechanical properties of cement-bonded composites. Three treatments: adding 4% of CaCl2, immersion in hot water at 80°C for 90 minutes, and immersion in NaOH aqueous...
