Durability of Natural Fibers for Geotechnical Engineering CARVALHO Raquel1,a, FANGUEIRO Raul1,2,b and NEVES Jorge1,c 1 Center for Textile Science and Technology, University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal 2 Center for Territory, Environment and Construction, University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal a raquelcarvalho@det.uminho.pt, b rfangueiro@civil.uminho.pt, c jgneves@det.uminho.pt Keywords: Natural fibers, geotextiles, durability Abstract.
The use of natural fibers turns engineering work more sustainable, since they are renewable, biodegradable, energy efficient and non-toxic raw materials.
Introduction Planet sustainability is now a common concern in many different areas, including civil engineering, in general, and geotechnical engineering, in particular.
Synthetic fibers are currently the most used in geotextiles for civil engineering where the physical and chemical properties and durability are key requirements of the applications.

The monitoring, modeling, and model updating of civil infrastructures are vital in maintaining new design and maintenance standards.
Introduction Civil structures are continuously degraded due to unexpected loading, environmental changes and natural degradation of materials among other factors.
For monitoring of large-scale civil structures, an ambient vibration test (AVT) is deemed to be more feasible than a forced vibration test (FVT).
