Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProperties of Fly Ash Based Coconut Fiber CompositeK. Saravana Raja Mohan, P. Jayabalan, A. RajaramanThe present paper reports the results of a study undertaken in enhancing properties of fly ash concrete composites-FMCC with locally available natural fiber. In this context a composite with fly ash, concrete and treated coconut fibers-available in plenty in rural areas of India-can be a good proposition and with this background, experimental investigation to study the effects of replacement of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2012 · 9,169 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluences of Short Discrete Fibers in High Strength Concrete with Very Coarse SandMahyuddin Ramli, Kwan Wai HoeProblem statement: High Strength Concrete (HSC) normally content high cementitous amount and low water binder ratio. However, these would cause substantial volume changes to the concrete and therefore affected the strength development. In addition, the brittleness of HSC was increased when silica fume used as partial cement replacement to achieve high strength. Approach: This study discussed the effects of incorporated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,812 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study on Natural Fibers for Green Acoustic Absorption MaterialsLamyaa Abd ALRahman, Raja Ishak Raja, Roslan Abdul RahmanNatural fibre materials are one of the major ways to improve environmental pollution and new materials need to be considered to find the best solutions. This study presents an experimental investigation on pure micro porous materials from two types of fibers: Date Palm Fibre (DPF) and Coconut Coir Fibre (CCF). This study was conducted to examine the potential for using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 8,782 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNoise Control Using Coconut Coir Fiber Sound Absorber with Porous Layer Backing and Perforated PanelRozli Zulkifli, Zulkarnain, Mohd Jailani Mohd NorProblem statement: Noise control was one of the major requirements to improve the living environment. One of the methods to do that is provided by sound absorber. Commonly, multi-layer sound absorbers are applied to absorb broadband noise that was composed of perforated plates, air space and porous material. However, multi-layers sound absorbers effectiveness depends on their construction. This study was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 14,698 accessesView PDF Cite
