“…Concrete beams [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] and RC columns [57,58] represented 14% and 2% of the members strengthened. RC slab [59], concrete slab [60], RC wall [61], masonry brick [62], masonry wall [63] and wood laminated beam [64] had a single occurrence. It is essential to state that reinforced concrete was included in the search query, so more research with other material types may exist other than the numbers presented here.…”

“…The flexural strength of geopolymer with sisal and coconut fibers ranges between 5.3-6.6 MPa, while that with glass fiber range between 3.1-3.7 MPa against 3.1 MPa for plain geopolymer mortar. Okeola et al [111] incorporated sisal fibers into concrete, where they added different proportions of 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2% by weight of cement; they reported improvement in the splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete with addition of sisal fiber; however, they observed decrease in workability, compressive strength, and water absorption of the concrete with increase in sisal fiber addition Khaleel et al [112] examined the effect of addition of jute fibers on the mechanical. properties of masonry bricks; they applied a thin layer of mortar to all the surfaces of the masonry prisms, after which they applied jute fibers by hand pressing so that the jute fiber goes into the mortar, then, they applied another layer of mortar to the wrapped fiber to cover it completely.…”

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.
