Analysis of compression resistance property of concrete modified with sugarcane (Saccharum Officinarum) bagasse fibers

The use of natural fibers as aggregate in concrete mix have been studied more frequently because these provide improvements in the mechanical properties of the concrete and also because it can be considerated as environmentally friendly material since it use agricultural waste such as sugarcane bagasse fiber. In this article, the mechanical behavior of the concrete was analyzed by compression tests and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the incorporation of sugarcane bagasse fiber was made for standard samples with fiber addition of 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8%
