Abstract


The construction of high-rise buildings and the demand for them are rapidly rising in the modern world. We are aware that the construction industry contributes 7% of global carbon emissions. When it comes to the situation in India, we can expect an increase in the demand for building materials due to a lack of housing, particularly for low-income urban dwellers. In order to solve the aforementioned issue, we require cutting-edge building materials that conserve energy. This project aims to comprehend the potential of using sisal fiber as a reinforcing material in Gypsum block and to comprehend the final product's behavior and character. which is extremely superior to the conventional system in terms of quality, cost, and time. We are aware that Gypsum is a waste product that has numerous advantages if utilized for construction. We also know that India has a lot of sisal fiber, which is the strongest natural fiber. By using the advantages of over two we can beat the shortcoming of the Gypsum and instigate quality to the completed item.
