Effect of Pineapple Leaf Fibre as Additional Material in Concrete Mixture
Recently, the usage of agricultural waste received special attention from many engineering fields. The wastes have been used in the concrete mixture either as a replacement material for producing lightweight concrete or as new additional material for improving the mechanical properties of the concrete. In this study, the effect of pineapple leaf fiber as a new additional material in concrete was investigated. Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) was chosen because it has a low thermal conductivity and bulk density. Three percentage of the PALF; 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% was added in concrete grade C30. The results were reported for both fresh and hardened state of concrete with fiber. For fresh concrete state, the slump test results showed that all batches of the concrete mixtures yielded the true slump height with a value range from 42 to 57 mm. Meanwhile, the mechanical properties of the concrete were investigated by performing three tests in the hardened state, i.e. compression, splitting tensile and flexural. The results showed that the addition of PALF was successfully improved the mechanical properties of the concrete. It is found that the addition of PALF in concrete improves the mechanical properties of the concrete. The highest strength was achieved when 0.3% of the fiber added in the concrete mixture. Alternatively, this study provides a potential way of converting the abundant of agriculture waste to wealth.
