Abstract
The use of non-corrodible reinforcements in ferrocement slabs may prevent its failure due to corrosion of weld mesh embedded. This research aims into using palm fiber as a reinforcement in ferrocement slabs. Palm fiber with a thickness of 2 mm and a breadth of 6 mm is utilised as reinforcement. The palm fibers organized similarly to the weld mess of inner space 2.50cm. Cement mortar and geopolymer mortar in a 1:2 ratio are used to cast ferrocement slabs measuring 1000 mm x 300 mm x 25 mm with palm fiber as reinforcement. Flyash, granulated blast furnace slag, and nano silica were used to make a geopolymer mortar. The observed load to deflection behavior of slabs under two point loading is discussed.
