Characterization Of Durability And Mechanical Properties Of ‘Cocos Nucifera Linn’ Fibre (Cnf) Reinforced Foamcrete And Its Performance At Elevated Temperatures

The call for lightweight foamcrete technology is impelled by the amplified rules and guidelines with the aim of minimizing greenhouse gas emission and reducing carbon footprint. The use of natural fibres in foamcrete is considered as a useful option in making concrete as a sustainable material. Ther...

The use of natural fibres in foamcrete is considered as a useful option in making concrete as a sustainable material.
