“…Jute fibre inclusion increases the M25 compressive strengths of concrete. The ultimate compressive strength in concrete of grade M25 was attained at a 1.5% addition of jute fibre, at 19.7%, 9.7%, and 8.1%, respectively [9]. Addition of 0.5% jute fibre to concrete had a negative effect on its fresh characteristics.…”

The Design of Experiment (DOE) approach was employed to determine the optimum combination of progression variables, which included Jute fibres (JF), Kenaf fibres (KF), and Silica fumes (SF), aimed at improving the mechanical properties of concrete. To achieve this, the Central composite design (CCD) of Response Surface Methodology was used. The results indicated that the inclusion of KF, JF and SF contributed positively to enhancement of mechanical properties. However, it was observed that a higher level of 0.75% of Jute and kenaf fibres incorporation led to a reduction in strength. The analysis, which involved surface plots, Pareto charts, and regression models, demonstrated that the presence of silica fumes was the most influential factor affecting compressive strength at both 14 days and 28 days. On the other hand, for split tensile strength, both jute and kenaf fibres played significant roles. To assess the accuracy of the models, validation tests were conducted, and the percentage of error was found to be less than 3.5% for compressive strength and split tensile strength. This indicates the reliability of models in predicting the strength properties based on the chosen progression variables.

“…Then, the bers were cut to pieces of the required size (15 mm), and the required amount of ber for the corresponding level of ber content was prepared. A ber length of 15 mm was adopted from previous studies for optimal performance [21], [22]. Subsequently, the required amount of burlap ber was mixed with ne and coarse aggregates and then poured into the mixer for 2 min by dry mixing with cement to ensure uniform distribution of ber.…”

This study investigated the impact of burlap fibers on the workability and mechanical properties of concrete. Five different levels of burlap fiber content were tested, and it was found that all fiber contents in the range of 0.1 to 0.85% (wt.) can produce fresh workable concrete. The fiber content had no significant effect on the compressive strength but had a significant effect on the tensile strength and water absorption capacity of the C25 concrete. Among the different concentrations tested, 0.6% (wt.) burlap fibers exhibited the best performance. The results of the permeability test and microstructural analysis of the images further confirmed that a fiber content of 0.6% (wt.) can ensure stronger and more durable concretes. Therefore, it is recommended to use 0.6% burlap fiber to enhance the tensile strength significantly (by approximately + 3.8% relative to the control) while maintaining similar compressive strength and water absorption capacity as conventional C25 concrete.

Natural fibers are an excellent alternative since they are inexpensive and easily accessible in fibrous form. Several researchers claim that jute fiber (JTF) can be used in concrete to improve its strength and durability performance. This review describes the characteristics and potential uses of some jute fibers in concrete. The main theme of this review is to summarize the effect of JTF on fresh properties of concrete, strength parameters, and durability characteristics. It can be concluded that jute fibers improved strength and durability aspect but decreased the fluidity of concrete in a similar way to synthetic fibers. However, there is little research available on the durability of concrete reinforced with JTF. Furthermore, the optimum percentage of JTF in concrete is critical as the higher dose adversely affects strength and durability characteristics due to lack fluidity. The typical range of optimum dose of JTF varies from 1% to 2% depending on the length and diameter of jute fibers. The review also identifies the key for future researchers to further, enhance the properties of concrete reinforced with JTF.
