Description:
Polymer Concrete was reinforced with Loofah fibers in order to improve the compressive and flexural strength. Polymer concrete specimens were prepared with 70% of silicious sand, 30% of polyester resin and various fiber concentrations (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 vol%). The results show decrease in the values of mechanical properties including flexural strength, compressive strength and compression modulus of elasticity.
