Study of Concrete Beams Reinforced With Jute Fibres And Twines
Abstract
Jute fibre is a natural bast fibre which is available in many parts of the Indian subcontinent and widely used for making twines. It has tensile strength and its properties are found to be suitable for use in concrete. The paper presents the effect of jute twines on the flexural behaviour of concrete beam reinforced with jute fibres. Concrete mixes were prepared with jute fibre (0.75% by volume of concrete and fibre length 25mm). Concrete beams of size 100mm X 150mm X 1000mm were cast with four different percentages of jute twines (0.56%, 0.94%, 1.12% and 1.88%) with and without jute fibres.
