“…Plant-based natural fibers have been used in cementitious composites such as concrete, mortar and geopolymer due to its advantages, availability, and less cost. Several studies reported improvement in concrete's properties which includes compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, impact resistance, energy absorption capacity, ductility, fracture toughness, reduction of propagation of crack growth and sizes with the addition of fibers, such as sisal fibers [80][81][82][83], coir and coconut fiber [80,[84][85][86][87], jute fiber [88][89][90][91][92], basalt fiber [93][94][95][96], kenaf fiber [84,85,97,98], bamboo fiber [99][100][101][102][103][104][105], flax fiber [106][107][108], etc.…”

The use of natural fibers in cementitious composites continue gaining acceptability and applicability due to the shortcomings and disadvantages of synthetic fiber; this is because natural fibers have advantages of sustainability, eco-friendliness, and economy. Biodegradable natural fibers, being low density and lightweight, with typical values of strength-to-weight ratio, aspect ratio, elastic modulus, and strength, may be competitive for substituting synthetic fibers such as glass and carbon. Indeed, natural fibers are mostly non-irritating for the skin and typically pose no troubles or issues for breathing, which is not the case with many synthetic fibers. Date palm fiber (DPF) is a natural fiber obtained as waste material from a date palm tree. In many countries, with large date production, DPF is easily available as a process by-product, with a low processing cost. Being sustainable and environmentally friendly, DPF is continuously gaining acceptability as fiber material in different composites such as concrete, mortar, gypsum composites, clay composites, and bricks. Based on the most available literature reviewed, DPF reinforced composites have been found to be a good insulation material, with higher thermal properties, thereby reducing energy consumption which consequently saves the running and maintenance cost of the building. DPF reinforced composites were reported to have higher energy absorption capacity, ductility, and bending resistance, leading to delaying crack propagation and preventing catastrophic failures of structures such as beams and slabs. Additionally, due to its lower density, DPF reinforced composites have the advantage for usage in areas prone to seismic effects, and when used for buildings, the overall weight of the building is expected to reduce hence reduction in foundation cost. The major setback of using DPF in composites is the reduction in the compressive strength of the composites and the durability performance of the composites. Therefore, for effective usage of DPF in composites to derive the maximum benefits, there is a need to devise a method of mitigating its negative effects on the compressive strength and durability performance of the Composites; this is a future study that needs to be explored for better performance of DPF in cementitious and other materials composites.

“…A short time ago, some researchers started to investigate SP powder as reinforcement for composites [6][7][8]. Many extraction methods were followed [9][10][11] with several authors have attempted to define composites made from flax, Hemp, Palmyra, Cactus, Date Palm, Washingtonia filifera and Luffa Cylindrical [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] , and hybrid composites using fiber glass with Coir, Bamboo, Kenaf, Sisal, Jute, Raffia, Stalk, banana, Coconut Coir, Sugar Palm and Talc .…”

The observation of fibers in salvadora persica roots inspired us to consider the idea of using them as reinforcement to create an innovative composite. The current work focuses on the volumetric mass density, extraction, molding, and mechanical testing of composites and hybrid composites made from salvadora persica roots and glass fibers reinforced with two types of polyester matrix, chosen due their characteristics suitable for use in different orientations. Various extraction and combination methods have been used to identify an optimal approach for obtaining fibers from salvadora persica roots, considering its chemical composition (hemicellulose, pectin, and lignin). In this investigation, the hand lay-up method was used to mold specimens with different geometries. The composite and hybrid composite were combined with a polyester matrix and subjected to various mechanical tests namely; tensile, impact resistance, and water absorption. The results indicate that reinforcing polyester resins with SP fibers, whether long or short, enhances the overall mechanical properties of the composite. Additionally, improved adhesion between salvadora persica roots fibers and resin was observed.

“…11,12 There is much literature regarding the mechanical and structural performance characteristics of various configurations of structural components manufactured or retrofitted with FFRE composites. Akin and Rashidi 13 showed that the confinement of concrete columns with FFRE caused a substantial gain in the strength and ultimate strain capacity of the columns. Huang et al 14 reported that FFRE was an effective material for retrofitting damaged concrete beams.…”

Flax fibre-reinforced polymer was used to manufacture 27 tubes. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the effect of length and wall thickness on the tubes’ bending capacity, strain behaviour, and failure mechanism which was investigated by conducting four-point loading experiments. The results indicated that with increasing the tube length, the failure mode of the tubes changed from ring-type deformation mode for short tubes to shear mode for medium-length and then to the bending mode for long tubes. While for short tubes, the largest strains developed in the hoop direction of the cross-section at mid-height, bottom, or top; for medium-length and long tubes, the largest strains occurred in the axial direction of the top or bottom cross-section.
