Coir fiber has been examined for their suitability as reinforcement of concrete. Mechanical properties and sustainability aspects of concrete composites were estimated after 7. 14, and 28 days of curing. Natural reinforcement of 0.46 and 0.62% by weight of coir fiber was added. Fibers were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM). Besides, an Eco-audit tool has been used to estimate energy and carbon emission of material, manufacturing, transportation, and disposal phases. It was found that fibers additions lowered the compressive strength compared to plain concrete. However, failures of the composites exhibited good post-cracking behavior. The use of vegetable fibers affects positively the life cycle of the material. Eco-aud...
