The engineering properties and bearing capacity of a soil get enhanced by stabilizing it with Arecanut coir and a binding material (cement).
For example silica particles can infiltrate cavities and cracks with a hydraulic aperture of 14 µm, which can be compared with the 0.05 0.1 mm crack-penetration of, the most common grouting material, cement [11].

Things moved on when state planning created a series of industrial parks along the island's coast, each specialising in its own thing petrochemicals and plastics (from imported raw materials), cement, steel and so on.
The local economy was based mainly on chemical industry, building materials (cement), glass, porcelain and metallurgy.
An experimental investigation was carried out to determine the setting time of cement based materials (cement paste, mortar, concrete, etc).
