The experimental investigation is to know the behavior of rice husk cement partition board reinforced with Sisal Fiber which is effective in both cost and stability. Nowadays the major problems faced by the world is global warming. The use of such boards could be seen as partially solving the problem of global warming and the problem of pollution associated with the disposal of rice husks in developing countries. Instead of that need alternative material for without affecting the environment. In our investigation an attempt made to partial replacement of cement by rice husk and sisal fiber used to improve the strength of board. Results indicate that water absorption and thickness swelling decreased with an increase in fiber content and that there is an optimum rice husk / cement ratio and fiber content that gives maximum flexural strength and that such boards could be used in low cost housing construction. This study has deals with the ultimate strength of rice husk cement partition board reinforced with sisal fiber and influence of fiber content in board at various proportions of sisal fiber has been find out by conducting Compressive strength, Flexural strength, Water absorption tests, Drilling characteristics and Drop-down characteristics.
