Sand Concrete, Workability, Flexural Strength, Compressive Strength And Ultrasonic Pulse VelocityAbstract
This experimental study explores the impact of incorporating sisal fibers into sand concrete
(SC) at varying ratios (0.05%, 0.10%, and 0.15%). Comprehensive tests were conducted on each sample
to assess workability, flexural strength, compressive strength, and ultrasonic pulse velocity. The findings
reveal a noteworthy enhancement in flexural strength with the addition of sisal fibers, highlighting a
substantial improvement in this crucial property. However, it is observed that the inclusion of sisal fibers
poses challenges to certain aspects of concrete composites. Despite potential obstacles, the significant
improvement in flexural strength opens new avenues for the utilization of sisal-fiber-reinforced sand
concrete in diverse building and construction applications. This study provides valuable insights into
optimizing the incorporation of sisal fibers, contributing to advancements in the development of high
performance and sustainable construction materials.
