Abstract

This research study aims to determine the effectiveness of using the Bamboo (Bambuseae) Fibers as medium for enhancing the durability and strength of the concrete and compare it to the common ones without fibers. This study utilized the experimental approach in quantitative research to ensure the fairness of the result. The study was conducted in Sto. Tomas National High School last September 2018. To test the effectiveness of the fiber to the concrete, the researchers conducted a 6-feet drop test along with the ones without fibers. The data gathered were analyzed using Chi- square test to determine the significant effect of the bamboo fiber in enhancing the concrete cement. It was found out that the concrete with fiber is more durable than the ones without fibers after the Drop test. This study encourages the use of bamboo fibers to enhance the strength and durability of the concrete.
