Study on behaviors of jute fiber reinforced cement based materials

摘要

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 30 mm 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 20 mm.
