![]() The effects of recycling an agriculture fiber in concrete are reported. Both fibers demonstrated improved efficiency in enhancing the brittle behavior of HSC. Compared with BF, PLSF yielded a higher enhancement in HSC properties. The tensile strength of HSC increased when up to 2% PLSF was used. No substantial improvement was observed in the compressive strength of the natural fiber. In addition, microstructure analysis of natural fibers and HSC with natural fiber was performed through scanning electron microscopy. The fresh and hardened properties, such as slump, compressive, tensile, flexural strengths and modulus of elasticity, of HSC with natural fiber were determined. The respective fiber volume fractions of BF and PLSF were 1%, 2% and 3%, and the aspect ratio was 100. Seven HSC mixes were designed three mixes contained banana fiber (BF), the other three incorporated palm leaf sheath fiber (PLSF), and the last one was the control mix. The natural fiber was treated with chemical solutions before recycling in concrete. To solve these problems, this work investigated the effects of using natural fiber waste to improve the brittle behavior of HSC. On the other hand, a major problem of high-strength concrete (HSC) is the sudden failure at the ultimate capacity of concrete. Such waste is converted and recycled as natural fiber. Millions of tonnes of agricultural waste, such as banana and date palm trees, are produced worldwide. Many environmental problems can be ascribed to agricultural waste. ![]()
