Aim
The aim of this project is to enhance the compressive
strength of M25 grade concrete by incorporating natural
coconut fiber as a reinforcing material, and to evaluate its
effectiveness by comparing it with conventional concrete
through 7-day and 28-day compressive strength tests.

Beyond this limit, excess fibers may hinder compaction,
reducing strength.
The use of natural fiber promotes sustainable construction
practices and reduces environmental impact.
