    Experimental Study On The Banana Fiber RC

    Uploaded by

    Afsin Ecer.
    This study examined the effects of adding banana fiber to concrete. Banana fiber was added at 0%, 0.5%, and 1% by weight of cement. Compressive strength was tested at 7, 14, and 28 days. Results showed compressive strength increased with curing time from 19.82 MPa at 7 days to 30.11 MPa at 28 days for plain concrete. Adding 0.5% and 1% banana fiber further increased 28-day compressive strength compared to plain concrete. Split tensile strength also increased with higher banana fiber content, from 2.8 MPa for plain concrete to 3.34 MPa for concrete with 1% banana fiber. In conclusion, partial replacement of cement with
