Tensile Strength of Natural Fiber Reinforced Polyester Composite

Utilization of Natural Fiber in Concrete - A Review

“…It was concluded that compression strength increased by 50.5% after addition of 1.5% fiber for M20 mix design, whereas the increase was up to 52.5% for the same percentage addition of fiber in M25. Ismail [7] used Roselle fibres in concrete by different fiber -cement ratio (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0) by weight of concrete. It was concluded that compressive strength increased by 3.8% for 0.25 fiber cement ratio and decreased by 7.3% for 1.5 fiber cement ratio.…”

“…The increase in tensile strength for M25 mix design with 1% and 1.5% addition of fiber is 30.8% and 36.0%, respectively. Ismail [7] used Roselle fibres in concrete by different fiber -cement ratio (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0) by weight of concrete. It was reported that at lower fiber content (0.25%), the tensile strength decreased slightly (11.4%), while it increased by about 53% at 3% fiber content.…”

Perforated Impact Strength of Woven Kenaf Fiber Reinforced Composites

“…This is due to a growing environmental awareness across the world to use environmentally friendly and sustainable materials [1][2][3][4]. The potential use of natural fibers also due to their low density and low cost in comparison with conventional fibers.…”

Oblique Perforated Impact Strength of Woven Kenaf Fiber Reinforced Composites

“…Tremendous amount of works can be found in open literature [1][2][3][4][5][6] discussing on the applications of natural fibers reinforced composites in engineering structures. More specifically, such composites are also used to withstand under perforated impact loading [1,4,5].…”
