For the flexural test, there were twenty four beam specimens with dimension 750mm length, 150mm width and 150mm thickness were test for flexural behavior. There are six beam specimens for control, six beam specimens for 2% fibre, six beam specimens for 3% fibre and six beam specimens for 4% fibre. The specimens were tested at 28 days after curing in water tank. The tested was conducted by applying load until the beam failed. The workability test results shown the workability of concrete decrease with the increase of fibre added. The result test for 28 days curing for flexural strength shown the strength was not achieved the control strength. 2012-06 Undergraduates Project Papers NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/12936/1/FKASA%20-%20AZWAN%20BUKHARI%20ASMIL.pdf Azwan Bukhari, Asmil (2012) The effect of coconut fibre on concrete properties (workability and flexural strength).
