Abstract : This study looks at how adding natural coconut fiber affects the strength of M25 concrete. Concrete mixes with 1%, 2%, and 3% fiber (by weight of cement) were tested after 7 and 28 days. The results show that the right amount of fiber can improve strength and help use waste materials in a useful way.

Keywords : Coconut Fiber, Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC), Compressive Strength, M25 Grade, Sustainable Construction.
