Study on Behaviors of Jute Fiber Reinforced Cement Based Materials

Abstract:

In this study, jute fibers were added into cement based materials to improve their compressive strength, flexural strength and early-age crack resistance. Results showed that the compressive and flexural strength of the fiber reinforced concrete were significantly enhanced with 30mm length jute fiber at the mixing amount of 0.5-0.6 kg•m-3. For early-age crack resistance test, the effective mixing amount would be 0.9 kg•m-3 and the fiber should be shorter than 20mm.
