Summary: Urbanization in major cities contributes to the urban heat island effect and frequent flooding, as observed in Manila, where a recorded 46°C heat index intensified fire incidents and typhoon-season floods. Permeable pavements, such as concrete grid grass pavers, offer potential solutions to mitigate runoff and heat but are often limited by low strength. This study investigates lattice concrete grid grass pavers reinforced with buri palm (Corypha elata) fiber, using fiber content of 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%. The concrete mix followed a 1:2:2 ratio of cement, sand, and ash with a 0.35 water-cement ratio. Evaluations included tensile strength of the treated fiber, physical properties (dimension tolerance and water absorption), mechanical properties (compressive and split tensile strength), and environmental performance (surface runoff and thermal conductivity). Conducted in Dasmariñas City, Cavite, in 2024, and guided by ASTM standards, the study found the treated fiber's tensile strength ranged from 38.145 MPa to 326.202 MPa, averaging 206.507 MPa. The pavers exhibited water absorption rates between 8.961% and 9.339%, with dimension tolerance variations meeting ASTM standards. The 0.2% fiber mix (Mix C) demonstrated the highest compressive strength (77.233 MPa) and split tensile strength (4.800 MPa), with a runoff coefficient of 0.425 comparable to plain grass, alongside improved thermal stability that reduced surface and soil temperatures. These results confirm that buri palm fiber reinforcement enhances the structural integrity and environmental performance of concrete lattice pavers, offering a sustainable and effective solution to urban flooding and heat-related challenges.

Urbanization in major cities contributes to the urban heat island effect and frequent
flooding, as observed in Manila, where a recorded 46°C heat index intensified fire incidents
and typhoon-season floods. Permeable pavements, such as concrete grid grass pavers, offer
potential solutions to mitigate runoff and heat but are often limited by low strength. This
study investigates lattice concrete grid grass pavers reinforced with buri palm (Corypha
elata) fiber, using fiber content of 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%. The concrete mix followed
a 1:2:2 ratio of cement, sand, and ash with a 0.35 water-cement ratio. Evaluations included
tensile strength of the treated fiber, physical properties (dimension tolerance and water
absorption), mechanical properties (compressive and split tensile strength), and
environmental performance (surface runoff and thermal conductivity). Conducted in
Dasmariñas City, Cavite, in 2024, and guided by ASTM standards, the study found the
treated fiber's tensile strength ranged from 38.145 MPa to 326.202 MPa, averaging 206.507
MPa. The pavers exhibited water absorption rates between 8.961% and 9.339%, with
dimension tolerance variations meeting ASTM standards. The 0.2% fiber mix (Mix C)
demonstrated the highest compressive strength (77.233 MPa) and split tensile strength
(4.800 MPa), with a runoff coefficient of 0.425 comparable to plain grass, alongside
improved thermal stability that reduced surface and soil temperatures. These results
confirm that buri palm fiber reinforcement enhances the structural integrity and
environmental performance of concrete lattice pavers, offering a sustainable and effective
solution to urban flooding and heat-related challenges.
