Crack Resistant Concrete Using Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Ash And Low Cost Natural Fibres

The project aims to develop a municipal solid waste incineration ash as partial replacement to cement, coconut fiber and banana peel fiber as addition. It also develop a technology for Crack-resistant concrete with Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) from various areas creates health hazards to the people. Disposal of this waste through landfill leads to disastrous environmental impact. Hence, there is a need to dispose incinerated ash from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in a safe manner. In this study the MSWI ash is used as a partial replacement (5% &10%) of cement in concrete. Coconut fiber is available in abundance which make it quite viable as a supporting reinforcement in concrete. The Low Cost Natural fibers (Coconut fiber & Banana peel) are additionally added by weight of cement in concrete in various percentage (2% & 4%). This composite matrix of substitutes will effectively resists crack. In this paper, the mechanical properties of control, MSWI ash, coconut fiber, banana peel are determined and compared. The studies shows that use of MSWI ash a great contribution to waste minimization.
