“…In addition, the jute fiber can also be utilized in high-strength concrete as a spalling prevention agent [44]. The reinforcement of concrete with jute fibers not only impedes the crack instigation but also helps in post-cracking propagation [45].…”

The use of synthetic fiber and natural fiber for concrete production has been continuously investigated. Most of the materials have become popular for their higher flexibility, durability, and strength. However, the current study explores the engineering properties of cement concrete reinforced with nylon and jute fibers together. Varying proportions and lengths of nylon and jute fibers were utilized in the concrete mixture. Hence, the combined effects of nylon and jute fibers on workability, density, water absorption, compressive, tensile, flexural strength, and drying shrinkage of concrete were investigated. Results showed that concrete with 1% of nylon and jute fibers together by the volume fraction showed a maximum enhancement of the compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength by 11.71%, 14.10%, and 11.04%, respectively, compared to the control mix of concrete at 90 days. However, the water absorption of concrete increased with increasing nylon and jute fiber contents. The drying shrinkage of concrete decreased with the addition of nylon and jute fibers together after 90 days. Thus, the sparing application of both nylon and jute fiber as discussed in this study can be adopted for concrete production.

“…43 Several studies imply that jute fibers can be considered a proper replacement for the traditional fibers in concrete materials. [44][45][46] Many variables may impact the properties of natural fiber reinforced concrete (NFRC), including the fiber type used and the amount of fiber used. Aside from the hydrophilic nature of the fiber, the characteristics of NFRC may be altered by the quantity of fiber used in the composite and the amount of filler used.…”

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.

“…According to Tan et al [8], the ultimate load of concrete columns has been increased by wrapping with JFRP composites. Alam and Al Riyami [9] showed that the toughness and strength of beams have been improved by the reinforcement using the natural fibers [10,11]. On the other hand, the maximum load capacity, ductility, and energy absorption have been increased by using the flax fiber-reinforced polymers (FFRP) [12].…”

This paper presents an innovative method of reinforcement of concrete based on the use of the Jute fibers composites. These renewable raw bioresource fibers are available at a low cost. Moreover, they can be compared to Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) by enhancing the resistance of Jute Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (JFRP), while improving the compatibility between the fiber and the resin. For that purpose, this paper presents an experimental study that evaluates the influence of the curing conditions (time and temperature) on the behavior of JFRP laminates and concrete members strengthened by JFRP. The curing conditions at 30 °C for 2h 30min and at 50 °C for 1 h were the only two parameters studied and determined on the basis of Sikadur 330 properties and preliminary tests. Through the experimental tests, the maximum load capacity and observed failure modes are investigated. The results indicated that the curing at 30 °C for 2h 30min is the optimum curing condition. In addition, a low difference in the maximum load capacity was noted in the case of 50 °C. As to the failure modes, all the specimens cured with additional heat before being left under room conditions, have shown the ductile mode failure, especially in the case of specimens cured at 30 °C during 2h 30min. The analytical model conducted in this paper predicts the elastic modulus depending on temperature. The obtained results and proposed model can be used as input parameters in the analysis and design of externally strengthened members with Jute FRP composites.
