“…Fibers can be uniformly distributed in concrete, fostering strong bonding with the cement paste and forming an effective fiber network. This network prevents the propagation of micro-cracks, thereby improving the cracking and tensile strength of concrete, as well as enhancing its toughness [17][18][19]. Among various fiber-reinforced materials, glass fiber-reinforced concrete is widely employed in engineering due to its excellent impact resistance, good workability, high tensile strength, and cost-effectiveness.…”

In marine structural engineering, the impact resistance of concrete holds high significance. The determination of whether the combined use of expansion agent (EA) and glass fiber (GF) has a synergistic effect on the impact resistance of seawater–sea-sand concrete (SSC) and plays a role in its performance and application. In this study, the dynamic Brazilian disc test at various strain rates was carried out with an SHPB device to investigate the effect of mixing 0% and 6% EA with 0% and 1% GF on the dynamic splitting tensile properties of SSC. The results show that strain rate effect on EA and GF-reinforced SSC during dynamic splitting tensile tests at higher strain rates, indicating strong strain rate sensitivity. The synergistic reinforcement of EA and GF consumed more energy under impact loading, thus maintaining the morphological integrity of concrete. However, the dynamic splitting tensile strength obtained in the Brazilian disc test had a significant overload effect which cannot be ignored. EA doped at 6% and GF doped at 1% showed a synergistic enhancement of SSC’s dynamic splitting tensile properties.

“…According to the results of increasing the fiber content in the laminated composites increases energy absorption and resistance to impact and hybridization with a high modulus fiber as outer layers significantly improves the performance of composites under low-velocity impact loading. Several other interesting research works are conducted, and they can be found elsewhere [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

The quest for sustainable and eco-friendly materials has led to a burgeoning interest in natural fibers as reinforcements in composite materials. Kenaf fiber, derived from the Hibiscus cannabinus plant, presents a promising avenue for enhancing the mechanical and energy absorption properties of composite tubes. This study focuses on the fabrication of composite tubes using a combination of kenaf fiber and epoxy resin. The composite tubes were then subjected to compressive testing to evaluate their energy absorption performances. The fabrication process involved the impregnation of kenaf fibre with epoxy resin, followed by winding and curing to form composite tubes. Different configurations of kenaf fiber content were utilized to investigate their impact on the structural integrity and energy absorption capabilities of the tubes. Compressive testing was conducted to assess the energy absorption behaviour under axial loading conditions. The results revealed that the incorporation of kenaf fiber significantly influenced the energy absorption capabilities of the composite tubes. Higher kenaf fiber content demonstrated improved energy absorption performance, showcasing the potential of kenaf fiber as an efficient energy-absorbing reinforcement. The findings of this study offer valuable insights into the use of sustainable and renewable resources, such as kenaf fiber, in enhancing the mechanical and energy absorption properties of composite structures, thereby contributing to the development of eco-friendly and high-performance materials.
