Reinforcing Mechanisms of Coir Fibers in Light-Weight Aggregate Concrete

Due to the requirement for developing more sustainable constructions, natural fibers from agricultural wastes, such as coir fibers, have been increasingly used as an alternative in concrete composites. However, the influence of coir fibers on the hydration and shrinkage of cement-based materials is...
