【 摘 要 】

This study presents the comparison on behavior of kenaf fibre composite and normal concrete. Use of natural fibre in construction industry is of tremendously interest in the past few decades. This study focus on investigate the material characteristic and the structural behavior of kenaf fibre composite compare with normal concrete. The percentages of kenaf fibre composite were calculated depend on the weight of concrete. Experimental investigation and comparison on behaviour such as compression test, splitting tensile test, slump test, water absorption test and 4 point loading beam test were discussed in this study. These studies found that kenaf fibre composite have better behaviour than normal concrete. Kenaf fibre composite has higher load capacity as compare with normal concrete. Moreover, these show that kenaf fibre composite are capable to behave better than normal concrete in all aspect when act as structural member.
