    The construction industry across the world recognizes the need for green, lightweight, and self-compacting materials that are also ecologically benign. Considering this requirement, a recent discovery has indicated that a novel form of concrete, known as foamed concrete (FC), has the potential to reduce structural self-weight. Natural fibres are an excellent option to be added in FC for durability properties improvement and are viewed as a great way to contribute to sustainability. The purpose of this study is to examine the possible utilization of agave cantala-based fibre (AF) in the fabrication of foamed concrete (FC) with the objective of enhancing their durability properties. Low densities FC are prone to serious durability performance degradation hence in this experiment FC of low density of 650 kg/m3 was fabricated and evaluated. Varying weight fractions of AF between 0% to 5% were considered as an additive in FC. The durability parameters that were evaluated included apparent porosity, shrinkage, water absorption and UPV. The experimental findings indicate that incorporating a weight fraction of 3% of AF in FC resulted in the optimal durability characteristics across all the durability measures examined in this study. The inclusion of AF in the combination resulted in a significant decrease in the permeability porosity and water absorption of FC. The presence of FC-AF composites with 4% fibre led to the highest drying shrinkage and UPV value and it performed better than the remaining mixtures.

    In this research, experimental work has been carried out to check the feasibility of using rubber sludge (RS) to partially replace fly ash (FA) in the production of geopolymer. RS is employed in this study as disposing of RS has led to an issue and is abundant, especially in countries producing rubber products. RS is classified as hazardous waste. Improper awareness on hazardous waste handling can spread a variety of diseases. Therefore, handling of hazardous waste is not easy as competent personnel is required during the collection, transportation, treatment and final disposal. As a result, the cost of disposing the hazardous waste are relatively high. With that, FA incorporated RS geopolymer will able to solve the landfill problems and used it as building materials will save costs, preserve natural resources, and protect the environment from waste impact and hazards. In this study, the physical and mechanical properties were investigated. It was used to replace fly ash at 5 wt.%, 10 wt.%, 15 wt.%, and 20 wt.%. Water absorption, apparent porosity, bulk density, and compressive strength were tested. The test result shows that 5 wt.% of RS incorporation to fly ash-based geopolymer is optimum as it has 1752 kg/m3 of density, 9.5% of water absorption, 19.2% of apparent porosity, and 49.9 MPa of compressive strength.
