toolbar searchIndustrial Hemp is one of the maximum available and broadly produced best fibers with higher content of cellulose. Hemp-concrete is a novel concrete composition that incorporates hemp fibers into the mix, four diverse contents of M1, M2, M3, and M4 an addition of constant Hemp fiber. The cement component of the first three mixes (M1, M2, and M3) is lowered by 30% of the concrete volume of Hemp fiber and replaced with fly ash and RHA, respectively. The fourth concrete mix (M4) has a 10% reduction in marble chips in the coarse aggregate. Hemp fiber, Fly ash, Rice husk ash, and Marble chips were tested first for their physical and chemical qualities. The constraints investigated included compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, sorptivity, acid test, and thermal test. The results of the tests demonstrate the importance of long-term stability.
