INTRODUCTION

o Concrete thing that use in construction, structural material consisting of a hard, chemically
inert particulate substance, known as aggregate (usually sand and gravel), that is bonded
together by cement and water.

o Concrete classified as a material which is good in compression strength but low in tensile
strength and this action will definitely produce cracks in tension zone. High compressive
strength, high flexural strength, low permeability, high durability and dimensional variations
are the properties for high quality hardened concrete. Many researchers found new solutions to
improve the properties of concrete by using fiber as an additive in concrete mix. The fiber that
had recently used as an additive in concrete is natural fiber due to the low cost and also lowers
the impact to environment. Garlic peel one of the natural fiber. So can the garlic peel can
increase strength of concrete same to other fiber.
PROBLEM STATEMENT

• The concrete industry conduct a research on green concepts by using natural fiber as an additive
or replacement in concrete to give low impact to environment and at the same time will increase
the strength of concrete. Garlic peel usually does not have any economical value and become
one of problem in waste management. Natural fibers used as reinforcement can overcome the
problems associated with concrete. This research is to know the effect of garlic peel on the
strength of concrete.
OBJECTIVE

• To identify the potential application of garlic peel in concrete application.

• To study the effect of garlic peel on the strength of concrete

PROJECT SCOPES

• This study covered two laboratory tests, compression test and flexural strengthtest of an
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete mix added with different quantity of garlic peel
(50g, 100g, 150g).
• We will testing the specimen with slump test and compression test. Slump test will test after
we mix the cement with garlic peel. While, the compression test, will be test after we curing the
mixture. Testing the mixture will be on day 7 and day 28.
