LOCALLY AVAILABLE NATURAL FIBERS AS ALTERNATIVES FOR SYNTHETIC FIBERS IN CONCRETE AND ENGINEERING APPLIATIONS
Hanan Hassan Ali Arafat;
Abstract
This research studied the effect of some locally available natural fibers (flax, sisal and jute) on the properties of concrete in a comparison with synthetic fibers.
Four treatment methods were used to choose natural fibers to investigate the effect of treated natural fiber on the properties of concrete mix. These methods are:
1- Hot water treatment
2- Cold water treatment
3- Sodium hydroxide treatment
4- Alcohol water mixtures (40:60)
Physical and mechanical properties of treated and untreated fibers (length, diameter, moisture content, elongation % and strength) were determined.
