Fique is a fiber of South American origin that has adequate properties to be used as reinforcement in composite materials, recently there have been various research for the development of composite materials with this fiber type. This article compiles different studies into composite materials reinforced with fique fiber. Initially discussed the issues related to the properties and treatments most commonly used to fiber to improve their quality and adhesion, then the types of matrix and the main manufacturing techniques that have been used for the manufacture of composites reinforced with fique fiber are described, followed by the different tests and characterization tests that have been applied to them to know their main properties and finally, their applications and the use of micromechanical models to describe them.

“…An increasing number of people throughout the globe are turning to synthetic fibres such as glass, carbon, or aramid for reinforcement and retrofitting purposes. From considerable research carried out throughout the globe over the past 30 years, we have gained a greater knowledge of the characteristics and behavior of FRPs under various situations [ 33 ]. Thus, more FRPs will likely be used in the future.…”

“…However, these materials pose ecological concerns; hence, it has become imperative to investigate the possibility of natural fibres as an alternative. Natural fibres are less expensive than synthetic fibres such as carbon fibres, which improves their economic and scientific potential [ 16 , 32 , 33 ]. This review is aimed at exploring the advancement and assessing the efficacy of externally bonded and near-surface mounted systems using Natural Fibre Composites to strengthen RC structural beams to identify structural applications, bond behaviour, failure mechanisms, durability, gaps, and possible enhancements to provide areas for future research directions in strengthening concrete beam structures.…”

Developing more resilient and sustainable physical infrastructure increases the demand for sustainable materials and strengthening approaches. Many investigations into strengthening RC beam structures have used either externally bonded (EB) or near-surface mounted (NSM) systems with synthetic fibre reinforced polymer composites. These synthetic fibres are unsustainable since they involve the use of nonrenewable resources and a large amount of energy. Research shows that natural fibre reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites may be an alternative to synthetic FRP composites in the strengthening of concrete beams. However, there is limited literature that validates their performance in various structural applications. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to explore the advances, prospects, and gaps of using EB/NSM NFRP techniques in strengthening concrete beams to provide areas for future research directions. The NSM FRP technique provides improved strengthening effects and mitigates the concerns associated with the EB system, based on a wider range of applications using synthetic FRPs. However, the NSM NFRP strengthening technique has been underutilized, though the EB NFRP system has been more commonly explored in reviewed studies. The knowledge gaps and areas for proposed future research directions are essential in developing work in emerging NFRPs and strengthening techniques for sustainable infrastructure.

“…Synthetic fiber-reinforced polymer composites have excellent mechanical properties, including a glass fiber tensile strength of 3400~3700 MPa and a carbon fiber tensile strength of 3500~4500 MPa [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], and have been widely used in the field of civil engineering reinforcement. The tensile strength of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites is several times higher than that of ordinary steel bars, and it also has good corrosion resistance and can be processed into various shapes according to the actual engineering needs [ 5 , 6 ].…”

In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of concrete short columns confined by flax/glass fiber hybrid-reinforced epoxy resin (FFRP/GFRP) composites. Taking the same fiber hybrid ratio and different paving orders as parameters, analysis of the axial compressive mechanical properties of eight groups of FFRP/GFRP composite-confined concrete short columns, including one group of flax fiber-reinforced epoxy resin (FFRP) composite-confined concrete short columns and one group of unconstrained concrete short column, was conducted. The effects of different layering sequences on failure modes, load–displacement curves, energy dissipation ductility and the stress–strain relationship of hybrid composite-confined concrete short columns were analyzed. The results show that the axial compression failure modes of FFRP/GFRP composite-confined concrete short columns with the same hybrid ratio and different paving sequences were basically the same, and the CC-H6 group was the most prominent. The ultimate bearing capacity and axial deflection were 91.05% and 11.49% higher than those of the control group (CC-FFRP), and the energy dissipation coefficient was also the largest, at 9.79. The failure trend of the stress–strain curve of the confined concrete short column specimens was basically the same, and the stress and axial strain of the members were increased by 247.9~292.5% and 486.7~701.0%, respectively.
