Preliminary studies on the development of sustainable lightweight foamed concrete reinforced with natural fibres for mechanical properties enhancement

Although foamed concrete was originally developed for void filling and insulation, today's society is gradually shifting its focus to structural qualities. The findings of an experimental investigation that conducted determine the impact various densities additives on mechanical properties are presented in this paper. Additionally, control samples with (600kg/m3, 1200kg/m3, 1800kg/m3) were created separately evaluate effects each Coir fibre, sisal kenaf fibre flax used as concrete. According study, density influenced by due volume porosity. On other hand, it discovered inclusion produced better improvements compared types fibre. Since has a high failure strain suitable use reinforcement concrete, can improve compatibility between fibres matrix. results study will help us understand how natural might be
