| Abstract | ||
| In order to improve the mechanical properties for juss mortar, two types of plants fibers have been added; reed and a coconuts skin fibers to several number of juss mortar mixes according to defined addition ratios to conduct compressive ,tensile and flexural strength . Addition ratios (0.5,1,2,3,4,5)% by weight of juss were added to a number of juss mortar mixes by using fibers of a different lengths from (10 - 50)mm of (2)mm diameter of reed and (1)mm of a coconuts fibers. Samples number of juss mortar reinforced by fibers were (150) samples for compressive test (cubes) and (150) samples for tension test and (90) samples for flexural strength test (prisms) . Also samples for reference juss mortar were made to be tested for compressive, tension and flexural strength. Results showed improvements in mechanical properties for juss mortar reinforced by these fibers with increasing of addition ratios together with fiber length up to (3%) and length of ( 40 mm ) for reeds and up to (4%) with fiber length of( 30 mm ) for a coconuts fiber. Increasing value of mechanical properties for juss mortar reinforced by these fibers gives good indication ; to be used for many building purpose such as gypsum panels and juss blocks. | ||
