“…Fibre behaviour in strengthening the composite, presently research by Elsaid, Dawood, Seracino, and Bobko, (2011) says that concrete beams from kenaf fibre was comparable to increase the properties of material strength. Babatunde, Yatim, Razavi, Yunus, and Azzmi, (2018) in his review said less of research about the fibre specification and fibrous concrete performance toward the environment in long term duration. The research that will be carried out will determine the 365 days durability of as an alternative composite of other natural fibres.…”

“…Kenaf fibre needs to be treated by a chemical reaction in order to remove dirt and lignin. The 5% sodium Hydroxide (Na0H) was the appropriate concentration for kenaf fibre treatment plan (Babatunde et al, 2018). This treatment process was done to make the fibre free from any substances and impurities of hemicellulose and pectin (Mahjoub, Yatim, Mohd Sam, & Hashemi, 2014;Lam & Yatim, 2015).…”

Kenaf Fibrous Pulverised Fuel Ash Concrete (KFPC) is a green concrete that using the plant fibre in order to enhance the strength and durability of composite material in an aggressive environment. Four mixes of concrete were prepared to compare the performance of concrete in an acidic environment which are Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) samples, Kenaf Fibrous Concrete (KFC) using OPC, PFA concrete samples and KFPC. The 25mm length and 0.75% of kenaf fibre and 25% of Pulverised Fuel Ash of cement replacement were used for the study. The objective of the study is to investigate the compressive and flexural strength of KFPC in 365 days of sulfuric acid immersion. The mass loss result shows the degradation of concrete in acid was improved with the inclusion of pozzolana material. Kenaf Fibre has increased the tensile strength of concrete and the addition PFA enhances the durability. The microstructural analysis through SEM and EDX analysis has been carried out to examine the condition of fibre in concrete. The results showed that a significant loss of strength and mass due to the duration of immersion, however, KFPC has contributed the better performance in an aggressive environment.
