<br/><br/> This thesis  focus on evaluate effluences of  fiber content to flexural  behavior of cement-bonded fiberboard reinforced bagasses, pine and coconut coir.In this thesis the applications of wood and non- wood fibers are considered in creating the Cement FiberBoards (CFB). Three different fibers including bagasses, pine and coconut coir  fibers,which are 2% and 4% fiber content were changed by the weight of Portland cement, these  fibers were  mixed with cement to product CFB. Furthermore, Silica  fume  affected  on  flexural  strength  of CFB  has  also  been  studied.  The  results of  this  thesis shown that the  flexural  strength  of  the CFBs  depends  on the  type  fibers  such  as  length, width, physical  and  mechanical  fibers.All groups that increasing  fiber content  from 2% up to 4% of cement weight, increasing max flexural strength. In addition, silica fume alsoimproved the flexural strength for groups which captained it.
