Dissertation note: Undergraduate Theses (BSCE) - Civil Engineering. Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, 2024. Abstract: Driven by growing concerns regarding the environmental impact of traditional construction materials, this research investigates the potential of using water hyacinth fibers and denim waste as eco-friendly components for laminated panels. With the aim of addressing both environmental issues and promoting novel applications for abundant resources, the research employs a comprehensive methodology. This includes the extraction and preparation of water hyacinth fibers, their integration with denim waste filler, and the fabrication of laminated panels using advanced composite techniques. The study systematically examines the properties of the materials and resulting panels to assess their viability for diverse construction applications. Initial results suggest promising developments in sustainability measures and structural integrity, highlighting the potential of water hyacinth and denim waste in sustainable construction materials. Tests conducted on water absorption, thickness swelling, bending strength, tensile strength, and face screw holding capacity and internal bond strength, based on ASTM, ISO and ANSI standards reveal positive properties in the developed laminated panel. As per requirements, the laminated panel using water hyacinth fiber and denim waste filler shows promising properties, especially in terms of thickness swelling and tensile strength. In contrast, it exceeds allowable limits in internal bond tests, bending strength, face screw holding ability, and water absorption. Despite this limitation, the tested properties indicate the suitability of the laminated panels for indoor use in residential and commercial structures. The findings contribute valuable insights into the potential applications of water hyacinth and denim waste in the field of sustainable construction materials, paving the way for further research and development in this innovative and environmentally conscious direction.
