Experimental and analytical study of bio-based epoxy composite materials for strengthening reinforced concrete structures

This paper presents a new approach to strengthen reinforced concrete structures using natural fiber composites. Natural fibers are often used in civil engineering for thermal or acoustic insulation, but rarely are they employed to strengthen structures. Natural fiber composites are constituted of a...

description This paper presents a new approach to strengthen reinforced concrete structures using natural fiber composites. Natural fibers are often used in civil engineering for thermal or acoustic insulation, but rarely are they employed to strengthen structures.

In this study, we investigate several fibers (carbon, hemp, fiberglass, and linen) in tensile and bending tests. The bending results show twice the magnification of the ultimate bending load in a strengthened specimen. The study also evaluates the stress distribution in the structure.
