Engineering properties of concrete can be enhanced by reinforcement of various materials. In this study coconut fibers were used as they have many advantages such as easily available and cost effective. An experimental study is held for study on properties of concrete reinforced with coconut fiber. A good bonding in the concrete is observed due to its flexural strength by addition of coconut fibres. The research carried out in the last few years were reviewed in this paper. The major aim of this study is to create awareness among the society about the importance of coconut fiber as construction material. Impact and fracture toughness of coconut fibre concretes are also examined.
