Structural Performance of Concrete Reinforced with Banana and Orange Peel Fibers -A Review

In recent years, there has been a surge in interest developing novel materials for sustainable building construction made from renewable resources. The use of natural fibers concrete reinforcement, as opposed to agricultural waste, significant environmental benefits terms reducing the repercussions continuous dumping and landfilling massive amounts waste overburdened landfill sites. Banana peel fiber (BPF) orange (OPF) are common agro-wastes with long history an additive or cement substitute. However, their efficiency performance reinforcement must be assessed. characteristics, fresh hardened state structural BPF OPF composite manufacturing reviewed this study based on findings. For quality reinforcing, it was discovered that have good surface areas low specific gravity. OPF, other hand, pozzolanic binding properties up 97.3 %. This allows them act binders supplement high strength yielding concrete. Furthermore, enhanced workability, consistency, compressive tensile strengths, setting times by 21.1 %, 48.64 46 % 52.5 47.37 respectively, whereas raised density 5.34 indicated both had lot potential producing high-quality reinforce composites against flexural deflection, heat transmission, modulus elasticity resulted increase cracking, creep, shrinkage. inclusion banana peels found significantly improve qualities concrete; thus, they can employed supplementary Finally, identifies new approaches achieving much-anticipated biodegradability sustainability fiber-reinforced usage variety reinforcing applications.
