Evaluating the Mechanical Properties of Fibre-Reinforced Concrete Containing Coconut Palm Leaf Ash as Supplementary Cementitious Material

Engineering Performance of Cement Mortar Cubes Containing Percentage of Date Palm Fibers and Leaf Ash

“…A study by Yousefi et al, [26] on the compressive strength development of fly ash mortars yielded the result. It is seen that the peak 28-day compressive strength of the mortar with 30% partial replacement of coconut palm leaf ash (CPLA).…”

“…Significance of the study Nasir and Al-Kutti [19] A novel method to utilize a high amount of fly ash without causing significant modification in the properties of mortars at a high ratio of 60 to 70%. The pozzolanic activity in highvolume fly ash mortars after 7 days of cement hydrolysis improved their compressive strength Yousefi et al, [26] It was found that the pit sand-cement mortar prisms after 1, 2, 7 and 28 days achieved optimal strength at 11.11% and about 90% reduction in the permeability Kappel et al, [11] Inclusion of sewage sludge ash modified the performance of mortars to the point that they have compatible compressive strength and workability with those of ordinary mortars Mo et al, [18] It is viable to utilize waste from the paper industry in the form of biomass boiler ash and green liquor dreg to make mortars Blaisi [6] Development of Aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe) mortars using treated fly ash as filler, assimilating 10% in weight of the aggregate and adding it into the mortar dosage as a new formulation. No environmental risk to human health when used as cement replacement [26] The FRM has been proven to be a successful confining technique for concrete beam Orasutthikul et al, [25] Inclusion of straight recycled nylon enhanced the flexural strength of mortars by 41% when compared to that of knotted recycled nylon, recycled PET, and PVA fibers Araya-Leterier et al, [2] There is a positive impact of pig hair as animal fiber to improve the tensile and flexural properties of the mortars Colombo et al, [4] There is a significant influence of FRM to strengthen schist walls…”

“…Table 1 shows the improvement of adopting ash in the cement-sand mortar cubes by several researchers work Several studies were carried out to assess the impacts of various types of fibers on the compressive strength development of mortar cubes. Yousefi et al, [26] studied the influence of fiber Reinforced Mortar (FRM) to enhance the compressive strength of confined beam. It was evident from the study that FRM was successful in establishing the confining method for both masonry and concrete beam.…”

Concrete mix rationalization through sustainable ingredient using coconut shell ash

“…Yousefi et al [34] evaluated how coconut palm leaf ash influenced the mechanical properties of polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete, encompassing factors such as tensile and compressive strength, permeability, and the impact of sea tidal conditions on the concrete"s strength. Ikeagwuan et al [35] conducted a comprehensive examination of the stability of modified expansive soil slopes by employing CSA in a study that incorporated laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, and predictive modeling.…”

The influence of coffee husk ash as a filler addition in mechanical and hydration properties of cement pastes

“…To reduce energy consumption and the amount of cement used in concrete mixes, researchers have investigated the use of various solid waste materials derived from biomass burning for energy generation. These materials include ashes from coconut palm leaves [8], corn straw [9], cocoa biomass [10], banana leaves [11,12], sugarcane bagasse [13,14], wheat straw beds [15], palm oil fuel ash [16,17], and coffee husks [18,19].…”
