Abstract

Palm frond waste as fibers to reduce the amount of waste produced annually. Additionally, the incorporation of palm fibers into cement mortar can help to mitigate the impact of agricultural waste on the environment and make it more cost-effective. Metakaolin (MK) as a type of clay abundant in Iraq and replaced by weight of cement. The date palm frond used as fibers and known a date palm fibers (DPF). The volume fraction 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3% of DPF used by cement weight. Alongside, the DPF treated in three method before adding to the mix, where that are by NaOH 24 hrs, Na OH 48 hrs and mechanical treatment (by making random holes in the frond). The mechanical properties of cement mortar reinforced by DPF containing MK was done that consist of compressive strength, flexural strength, and flowability. Additionally, the multi-attribute decision-making methods (MADM) included to analyze the results and assign the importance mix. MOORA method that used to giving the required mix depending on the alternatives. The results revealed enhancing in the compressive and flexural strength by increasing the DPF content, and showed the greatest values at low dosage of DPF especially at 0.5% and 1% of DPF. The flowability was slightly reduced by DFP content. The treatment of DPF by NaOH 48 hours and mechanical treatment have significant influences on compressive and flexural strength.
