“…The use of composites bonded to the surface of the structures, named also external reinforcements, using resins curing at room temperature, is an another technique of application of natural fibers, which is widely used for its efficiency and ease and speed of implementation [7,8]. This material's concept currently applied in Algeria, based on an externally glass fibers reinforced polymer concrete, proved its efficiency in piping systems [9]. The use of plant fibers, jute in this study, as reinforcements outside the polymer concrete, acquires mechanical properties, traction, and flexion, more than appreciable [10], however, other characteristics must be studied to ensure a better integration in the market.…”

The main objective of this work is to highlight the influence of jute woven layer orientation on fracture parameters (energy release rate and stress intensity factor) of a polymer concrete laminate. The use of plant fibers, jute in this study, as reinforcements outside the polymer concrete, acquires mechanical properties, traction, and flexion, more than appreciable, however, other characteristics must be studied to ensure better integration on the market. The addition of plant fibers with different orientations is not without consequences on the mechanical behavior, in this case, on the resistance to cracking and its propagation. Fibered concretes have a very different behavior compared to non-fiber concretes, especially after the first cracking, where the fibers make their contribution by trying to stop the evolution and the propagation of micro-cracks within the matrix by making the concrete more ductile.
