Abstract
In today's construction world, sustainability is a widely acknowledged idea. The construction industry is innovating in terms of technology and materials utilized as construction costs have risen and harmed the environment. In the present study, a balanced approach was used to have sustainable construction materials. The study involves using ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) and coconut fibre (CF) to improve the concrete’s strength characteristics. The partial substitution of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with GGBS and CF was investigated. The strength characteristics of concrete i.e., compressive, and tensile strength were measured by having a proportion (1.75%) of CF and the impact of GGBS with varied proportions (25%, 50%, 75%, and 90%). The study reveals that cement when partially replaced with GGBS at 75% and CF at 1.75% improved the strength characteristics of concrete to 11.38% and 15.26%, respectively. The current study presents the various experimentation details and analyzed observations to have an effective conclusion about the utilization of natural fibre in concrete.
