Effect of Chopped Sisal fiber (CSF) on enhancing the compressive strength of Local Plaster of Paris (LPOP)

In this study, paper sludge ash, a waste from pulp and paper industry was used as a filler in fabricating Plaster of Paris/paper sludge ash composites. Various percentage of paper sludge ash was used, namely 1wt.%, 3wt.%, 5wt.% and 7wt.%. The effect of paper sludge ash on the compressive strength of the Plaster of Paris was studied. The mixed powder of paper sludge ash and Plaster of Paris were form into a 6 mm diameter and 12 mm height cylindrical samples. The composites were characterized theirs density where it shows that the density decreased as the amount of paper sludge ash increased. The compressive strength of the composites also decreased from 11.67 MPa without paper sludge ash addition to 0.50 MPa at 7wt.% paper sludge ash. However, the requirement of strength for Plaster of Paris in industry is between 8.96 MPa to 20.68 MPa. From the SEM observation, sample contain higher percentage of paper sludge ash exhibited more porosity. Therefore with the addition of 1wt.% of paper sludge ash into Plaster of Paris can be a promising construction material.

Recent developments in the production of ecologically friendly building composites have led to a renewed interest in the use of vegetable fibers as a reinforcement element. Traditional pure Plaster of Paris (POP) can suffer from the development of micro-cracks due to thermal expansion. Therefore, sisal fiber was studied for its potential as an ecological element to restrict and delay the development of micro-cracks in POP. Different sisal proportions of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 wt. % of POP were used to characterize the physical and mechanical properties of POP at the ambient temperature. Then, the effects of temperatures of 25, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 were investigated. Results proved that the composite of 10% sisal fiber had the best mechanical properties. Also, when the fiber content was increased, the composite’s performance was enhanced, becoming better able to resist elevated temperatures. However, raising the temperature to 300 or above had a negative effect on the mechanical properties, which were significantly decreased due to the degradation of the sisal fiber.

This study presents results of an experimental investigation conducted to investigate the mechanical properties of sisal and glass fiber reinforced concrete. Four basic concrete mixes were considered: 1) Plain concrete (PC) containing ordinary natural aggregates without any fibers, 2) sisal fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), 3) sisal and glass fiber reinforced concrete (SGFRC), 4, glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC). Investigated properties were compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural tensile strength and workability. The results of fiber reinforced concrete mixes were compared with plain concrete to investigate the effect of fibers on the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced concrete. It was determined that addition of different kinds of fibers (natural and synthetic) is very useful to produce concrete. The addition of fibers was resulted into higher compressive strength, splitting and tensile strength. However, the workability of the fiber reinforced concrete was found lower than the plain concrete due to the addition of fibers in the concrete.

Fiber concretes have been revolutionizing the market, as well as lower operating costs, structurally act. The total or partial replacement of steel with natural fiber reinforced concrete could be an economical way to provide an alternative method to achieve greater security in concrete structures, as well as a way to use materials that are energy efficient, economic and ecological.Sisal fiber reinforcement is promising for use in composite materials, due to their low cost, low density, high strength and specific modulus, without risk to health, readily available in some countries and renewal.We studied four different dosages of concrete: without fiber, with two different types of polypropylene (PP) fibers and with sisal fiber. Consistency of fresh concrete, bulk density, water absorption, capillary absorption, compressive strength and microstructural properties values of the samples were investigated.Regarding the consistency of fresh concrete, measured by testing Abrams cone, as the results show a substantial difference between the flowability of the concrete without addition of fibers and other dosages with different types of fibers studied. The compressive strength test at 7 and 21 days also shows resistance as early ages performed fiber, while with increasing days of curing, the resistance becomes a reaction product of cement and pozzolanic water have no effect added fiber. Absorption tests and capillary absorption of water, like the above, consistent with the results shown bibliographic polled, the results being higher in both assays for dosages comprised of PP and sisal fibers.

Some time ago in the region of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) experienced earthquake shocks which shocked the community so that many buildings were destroyed and razed to the ground. While the current use of plastic waste is a concern of the community and government, especially in the NTB region. So this background is the basis of research to make earthquake-resistant lightweight bricks by utilizing PET plastic waste to replace coarse aggregate as a mixture and use sisal fiber as a reinforcement to strengthen the strength of lightweight bricks. The purpose of this research is to find out how to make light brick type CLC (Cellular Lightweight Concrete) by utilizing PET plastic waste and sisal fiber, to determine the effect of the addition of PET plastic and sisal fiber to the mechanical properties of light bricks, and to determine the optimum composition of the addition of plastic PET and sisal fiber in the manufacture of lightweight brick CLC. The use of PET plastic and sisal fiber produces brick with an average density of 1,830,419 kg / m3 for 1: 1 variation samples, 1,880 kg / m3 for 4: 1 variation samples, and 1,887,654 kg / m3 for 1: variation samples 4. Maximum compressive strength is achieved in 1: 4 variation samples ie samples with the addition of sisal fiber 4 times more than PET plastic. Based on the results of the measurement of the density of bricks, only the sample variation 1: 1 that meets the standards of SNI 2847-2013 light brick (1,140-1,840 kg / m3). The addition of sisal fiber which is 4 times more than PET plastic (sample variation 1: 4) has the highest compressive strength value of 8.5 MPa and is included in the category of lightweight brick quality I.
