| Abstract Scope |
Coconut fiber is a renewable material that has high potential for use in civil construction. Proving to be a profitable and promising alternative, this study intends to analyze and compare the effects of the addition of coconut fiber in the mortar through tests, such as consistency , density, viscosity, compressive and flexural strength. The comparison were be made with 0.3% and 0.6% of addition in cement mass, treating the fibers previously with sodium hydroxide with 0.3% and 0.6% and in natural condition. The results showed that the treatment was beneficial for this type of fiber, showing that its application in mortars is feasible. |
