Abstract: GUEVARRA, ROMANELLI JOY I. and LEGASPI, ICIER LEMUEL M. Proposed study of Water Hyacinth Fiber as an Additive in Concrete Hollow Block Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Cavite State University, lndang, Cavite. June 2019. Adviser: Engr. Renato B. Cubilla. Water Hyacinth is one of the problems in the community, many large hydropower schemes suffer from it and caused fish kill because of oxygen depletion. This study was conducted to determine the Strength that can provide by Water hyacinth fiber for Concrete Hollow Block. Water Hyacinth fiber used in this study has and average water absorption of 5.5. It has a mass density of 38.18kg/m3 when loose and 87.28 kg/m3 when compacted. And it has an average tensile strength of 921,803 MPa. The proportion used for cement to sand is 1:7 with Philippine standard size of 40cm: 20cm: 10cm. Three samples from each treatment were prepared to determine the Compressive Strength after 7, 14 and 28 days of Concrete Hollow Block with different design mixture of 0, 2, 4, and 6 percent of water hyacinth fiber as an additive. The average compressive strength of all treatment on its 28th day passed the Philippine National Standard (PNS) of 2.41 MPa (350 psi) for an average of three CHB. Among the 3 proposed design mixture with water hyacinth fiber, Treatment 2 with 2% of water hyacinth fiber attained the highest. However it is lower than the concrete hollow block without water hyacinth fiber. Based on the weight of the concrete hollow block with different design mixture, the weight of concrete hollow block is inversely proportional to the percent of water hyacinth added. And also, based on the compressive strength result, water hyacinth fiber is inversely proportional to the strength of the concrete hollow block. Since all treatment passed the PNS, all of the treatment up to 6% of water hyacinth fiber added to CHB can still be used as non-load bearing concrete hollow block structures.
