Introduction
Natural fiber based composite are under intensive study due to their eco-
friendly nature and peculiar properties. The advantage of natural fiber is their
continuous supply, easy and safe handling, and biodegradable nature. Although
natural fibers exhibit admirable physical and mechanical properties varies with the
plant. The cloth is translucent, soft and fine with high luster. Since pineapple fabric
is hand loomed by only a few weavers, it is very precious and scarce, which also
makes it expensive. Pineapple (Ananas comosus) fiber is used mainly for the
Barong Tagalog, also for wedding dresses and otger traditional Philippine formal
dress. It is also used for table lines, mats, bags and other clothing items. Because
it is lightweight but stiff, this sheer fabric can be used in any creative design.2
substandard or hard a low build quality and normally, Antipolo City experiences a
high temperature that may affect the temperature and structure of the Ibuilding.
Pineapple fibers have excellent usage. It can be used in various application
like artificial fibers, as a sound absorber and heat insulator, and so forth. 3
C. Hypothesis
bricks, then the Pineapple fiber is not feasible to utilize the bricks through
component. The study was conducted around Nilo Building of San Jose
National High School School Year 2018 – 2019. And it was utilized by the
researchers for the experimentation of their product. The materials used sre
going to be bought at local stores around Antipolo City. The cost of the following
materials did nit surpass the current budget the researchers have.
E. Definition of Terms
A. Materials
A.1. Ingredients
20 kg of sand
5 kg of cement
10 L of water
3 brick Molder
A.2. Tools
2 Thermometer
Weighing Scale
1 meter Stick
250 ml baker
B. Procedure
3. After boiling of pineapple leaves, place all the boiled pineapple leaves
4. When these pineapple leaves are finally dried, scrape the top layer of the
leaves to expose its fiber and extract the fibers from the leaves.
5. These pineapple fibers were mixed with the sand, cement, and water.
6. After mixing, the mixture of the mentioned contents was poured on 3
molder woods and these were place outside to dry for 2-3 days.
7. After the bricks had finally dried, it had undergone testing and trials.
For testing, the bricks underwent trials. 1 trial per day, for 3 days, where
the bricks were dropped 1 meter above ground. The researchers then listed the
For measuring the heat capacities of the bricks the researchers placed the
controlled brick and the experimental brick that has pineapple as a component
under the sun. In the same place with the same exposure. After a certain amount
of time, the researchers removed the bricks and use a thermometer to measure
its temperature. The researchers has then compare the temperature of the bricks
