“…e outcome suggested that the strength was enhanced while utilizing jute fiber up to 0.50% as reinforcement components and with further addition of jute fiber in concrete; the strength reduces due to the maximum number of voids generated by jute fiber addition which is greater than the optimum level of voids produced in concrete. is trend was observed by Zarakia et al [40]. Islam and Ahmed [18] stated that the compressive strength was reduced while utilizing jute fiber beyond 0.50% as the reinforcement ingredient in concrete.…”

In the present era, a number of researchers are using either industrial or agricultural priceless products as a basic source of raw materials for the construction industry. These waste products are economical and helpful in producing a sustainable environment and reducing environmental pollution, which is called handling waste products. However, this research work was conducted on concrete containing 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1% of jute fiber as reinforcement material and 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% of wheat straw ash (WSA) as replacement for fine aggregates. Moreover, the separate and combined effect of jute fiber and WSA as a replacement for sand ingredient in concrete is to determine the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. In this research, a number of concrete samples were prepared with 1 : 1.5 : 3 mix proportion at 0.54 water-cement ratio and cured at 28 days. The experimental outcomes displayed that the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths improved by 32.88 MPa, 3.80 MPa, and 5.30 MPa at 0.50% of jute fiber along with 30% of WSA at 28 days consistently. Similarly, the modulus of elasticity was developed while the dosages of jute fiber and WSA increased together in concrete. Moreover, the permeability and workability of concrete were reduced while utilized jute fiber and WSA increased together in concrete.

“…The variation with in the various percentage of addition fibers tends that at 0.6 percentage addition fibers has higher strength than the other two percentage of addition of fibers. The decrease in the strength initiates from 0.7 % this may be due to fiber agglomeration [27]. The percentage variation in the compressive strength of concrete are shown in figure 4.…”

India is one of the largest producers of jute, its potential use in many branches of engineering should be developed for the prosperity of the nation. The recent trends in utilizing the natural fibers has increased due to its advantages over synthetic fibers due to low cost, low environment hazard and easy availability. The properties of the fiber is improved by treating the jute fiber with alkali and latex polymer. Since, very few studies been conducted using the treated jute fiber concrete, an experimental work was carried with 0.6% as optimum percentage of treated jute fibers based on the mechanical properties of concrete. The influence of flexural characteristics of concrete was compared with control beams and beams cast with fibers in whole area and also only in tension zone of beam for M20 and M25 concrete grade. The beams with fibers of whole area had better strength, stiffness characteristic than the control beam and the beam with fibers in tension zone only. The initial cracking load was increased by 12.92% and 11.23 % and ultimate load was increased by 6.94% and 7. 20% for the beams cast with fibers in whole area for M20 and M25 grade of concrete, respectively.

“…The slabs were taken out from the controlled environment after 24 h. (Figure 4). Darjole et al [17] reported that enhancement in compressive strength ranged from 3.25% to 21.4% due to combination of Steel and polypropylene fibers to the concrete. As a result, using 15 mm length of JFRC with ≤0.30 % fiber addition culminates to more pledging combination for compressive strength enhancement.…”

“…The main defects associated with the use of synthetic fibers are relatively high cost and health and environmental imperilment. On the other hand, natural fibers which are biodegradable, cheap, environmentally friendly, and easily available as reported by Zakaria et al (2016) are cultivated from naturally available resources, for example, coconut tree, banana tree, cotton, and jute. Therefore, making good-quality and low-cost sustainable FRC for housing the requirements to employ natural fibers are expanding.…”

Using natural (Jute) fiber in concrete as a reinforcing material can not only augment the concrete strength but also restrict the use of synthetic fiber which is environmentally detrimental. To achieve this goal, this study evaluated compressive strength, tensile strength and plastic shrinkage of concrete incorporating â€˜Natural (Jute)â€™ fiber of different length (15 mm and 25 mm) with various mix proportions of 0.10%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% respectively by volume of concrete. Concrete is vulnerable to grow shrinkage cracks because of high evaporation rate in dry and windy conditions. Incorporating of fibers could abate development of this crack. The large length (25 mm) and higher content (ï€¾ 0.3%) of reinforcing materials (jute fiber) result to the lowering of mechanical properties of JFRC compare to plain concrete. But in the incorporation of short (15 mm) and low fiber content (ï‚£ 0.3%), enhances the mechanical properties of the same JFRC. Inclusion of 0.3% (15 mm length) fiber gave maximum enhancement of both concrete compressive and tensile strength by 12.4% and 58% respectively compared to the non-fiber reinforced concrete. A drastic suppression of crack occurrence and area of crack between non-fiber reinforced concrete and fiber reinforced concretes was attained. Experimental results of incorporating 0.1â€“0.4% fiber with 15 mm length in concrete revealed that plastic shrinkage cracks were decreased by 75â€“99% in contrast to non-fiber reinforced concrete. Therefore, it is concluded that the incorporation of jute fiber in making FRC composite would be one of the favorable methods to enhance the performance of concrete.
