Coconut fiber represents an abundant resource at our test site, offering a promising option as a reinforcement material within concrete structures. Its integration not only enhances the structural integrity but also presents an opportunity for coconut producers to diversify their income streams. By tapping into the construction industry's demand for this sustainable material, producers can benefit financially while addressing the challenge of coir mattress waste disposal. Furthermore, incorporating coconut fiber into concrete offers an environmentally friendly solution by reducing the need for additional waste management infrastructure and alleviating the burden on landfills and incinerators. Our study focuses on evaluating the strength properties of raw coconut fiber-reinforced concrete across varying fiber content percentages, particularly at 8% & 10% by the weight of cement. We examine key strength indicators such as flexural, compressive, and tensile strength, while also investigating how different fiber shapes influence these properties.
