The use of fibers has proven to be an effective solution for correcting certain building pathologies. This is particularly true for plant fibers such as coconut fibers. Their use contributes to the improvement of mechanical performance. This study was conducted to investigate the influence of the length of coconut fibers on the physical and mechanical properties of micro-concrete used for correction. This mortar was prepared with grade 1/5 gravel and 0/1 sand. The fiber lengths are 20 or 40 mm. From the experiments, it is evident that the presence of coconut fibers in the mortar reduces compressive strength, delays setting, and makes it firmer. Regarding fiber length, it varies inversely with the aforementioned delay and workability. However, the increase in length corresponds to an increase in porosity and compressive strength.

Abstract
The use of fibers has proven to be an effective solution for correcting certain building pathologies. This is particularly true for plant fibers such as coconut fibers. Their use contributes to the improvement of mechanical performance. This study was conducted to investigate the influence of the length of coconut fibers on the physical and mechanical properties of micro-concrete used for correction. This mortar was prepared with grade 1/5 gravel and 0/1 sand. The fiber lengths are 20 or 40 mm. From the experiments, it is evident that the presence of coconut fibers in the mortar reduces compressive strength, delays setting, and makes it firmer. Regarding fiber length, it varies inversely with the aforementioned delay and workability. However, the increase in length corresponds to an increase in porosity and compressive strength.

Abstract: (french)
L’utilisation des fibres est une solution qui s’est efficace pour corriger certaines pathologies dans le bâtiment; c’est le cas des fibres végétales telles que les fibres de coco. Leur utilisation contribue à l’amélioration des performances mécaniques. Ce travail a été mené pour étudier l’influence de la longueur des fibres de coco sur les propriétés physiques et mécaniques micro-bétons de correction. Ce mortier a été élaboré avec du gravier de classe 1/5 et du sable 0/1. La longueur des fibres sont de 20 ou 40 mm. A l’issus des expérimentations, il ressort que la présence de fibres de coco dans le mortier diminue la résistance en compression, retarde sa prise et le rend plus ferme. Concernant la longueur des fibres, elle varie inversement avec le retard susmentionné et son ouvrabilité. Mais l’augmentation de longueur évolue en même temps que la porosité et la résistance en compression.
