- In this current era there are some concerns of using synthetic fibres in regards to their impact on the environment, since they are non-recyclable and non- degradable. There are many attempts by various groups of engineers and researchers use natural fibres in engineering applications, in the hope of replacing synthetic fibres with natural fibres. In this study, the potential of utilizing natural fibres in construction substances is studied such as compressive strength and water absorption . Gypsum boards are reinforced using sisal fibres for the industrial and construction applications. The sisal fibre has been washed by fresh water and treated with concentration of NaOH (6%), to achieve a real interfacial adhesion between the gypsum and sisal fibre. Due to porous nature of sisal fibre-gypsum composites, as the presence of air voids work as traps and impeded the heat transfer, sisal fibre-gypsum composites performs better than glass fibre- gypsum composites as an insulation material. Hence in the project, we used sisal fibre and coir fibre as reinforcement in gypsum board by studying the mechanical behaviour of plain gypsum board. The optimum percentage of sisal fibre and coir fibre is found out by conducting test at different percentages. Experimental study is conducted to evaluate the compressive strength characteristics of sisal fibre and coir fibre reinforced gypsum board. Also water absorption of the optimum is also found out.
