Splitting tensile strength of concrete is normally low compared to compressive and flexural strength. Tensile force was used in the design of structural foamed mortar and to evaluate the shear resistance provided by concrete. This research focuses on the splitting tensile strength of foamed mortar incorporated with 7 different types of fibres used such as wood ash, pulverized fuel ash, silica fume, palm oil fuel ash, polypropylene fibre, coconut fibre and steel fibre. The findings show that the amount of fibres influences the enhancement level of the tensile strength. A high percentage of fibre can create a strong bonding between the particles of the foamed mortar, thus it is able to absorb energy to resist crack formation.
