dc.description.abstractThere are increasing interests in the usage of natural fibres as reinforcing component for concrete production due totheir enormous properties such as low cost, its abundance and availability. This research examined the thermalresistance of Raffia Palm Fibre (RPF) reinforced concrete. In this study, 0% to 1% fibre content by weight of cementwere incorporated in concrete and their compressive strength were tested after heating. A total number of 36 cubeswere prepared, cured and tested at 28 days. Concrete cubes with 0% fibre was used as control specimen. The cubes’compressive strengths were determined at 0C, 5560C and 6590C at 0 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutesrespectively. The result revealed that workability of the concrete declined with a rise in the percentage of raffia palm.There is also a substantial surge in the compressive strength of raffia palm fibre reinforced concrete cubes (RPFRC)compared to the control concrete samples. The compressive strength of the concrete cubes decreased with the risein temperature for the entire samples tested. It was concluded that increasing the percentage fibre content inconcrete reduces the rate of loss in compressive strengths of concrete when subjected to heat.
