An experimental investigation of mechanical properties of jute fiber-reinforced concrete (JFRC) has been reported for making a suitable construction material in terms of fiber reinforcement. Two jute fiber reinforced concretes, called jute fiber reinforced normal strength concrete (JFRNSC) and jute fiber-reinforced high-fluidity concrete (JFRHFC), were tested in compression, flexure and splitting tension. Compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strengths of specimens were investigated to four levels of jute fiber contents by volume fraction. From the test results, Jute fiber can be successfully used for normal strength concrete (NSC) and high-fluidity concrete (HFC). Particularly, HFC with jute fibers shows relatively higher improvement of strength property than that of normal strength concrete.

표면처리에 따른 Jute 섬유 강화 폴리프로필렌 복합재료의 수화 전 후 계면 물성을 미세역학시험과 동적 접촉각으로 평가하였다. 알칼리 및 실란 커플링제 용액으로 Jute 섬유의 표면을 처리함으로 Jute 섬유와 폴리프로필렌 기지재 사이의 계면전단강도가 증가를 하였으며, 수화 이후 미처리, 알칼리 그리고 실란 커플링제 용액으로 표면처리된 Jute 섬유와 기지재 사이의 계면전단강도는 수분침투에 의해 감소하였다. 실란 커플링제 용액으로 표면처리된 Jute 섬유와 폴리프로필렌 기지재 사이의 계면전단강도는 알칼리 용액 및 미처리의 경우에 비해 높았다. 미처리, 실란 커플링제 및 알칼리 용액 처리된 Jute 섬유의 표면에너지는 동적 접촉각 측정을 통해 계산되어졌다. 수화 이후의 열역학적 접착일은 섬유와 기지재 사이의 물 중간층을 고려하여 계산하였다. 계산되어진 결과를 통해 실란 커플링제 용액으로 표면처리된 Jute 섬유와 폴리프로필렌 계면 사이가 가장 안정한 것으로 나타났다.

Changes occurring in jute and coir fiber composites with 2-8% concentration of a NaOH treatment for 24 h were investigated, respectively, for void content, microscopy images, mechanical properties and water absorption. The jute and coir fibers were vacuum dried before molding composite specimens. Mechanical properties indicated good adhesion between natural fibers and PP. Jute fibers, when alkali-treated with 2% concentration for 24 h, showed best improvement in tensile strength by 40% and modulus by 9%, respectively, while coir fibers, when alkali-treated with 6% concentration for 24 h, showed best improvement in tensile strengths by 62% and modulus by 17%, respectively. With 2% concentration of alkali-treatments, the elongation of jute and coir composites reached 8% and 13.5%, respectively. Moisture absorption for jute and coir composites are 50% and 60% lower than untreated fiber composites, respectively.

In this study, the effects of high temperatures on the compressive strength and elastic modulus of HPC with pp and jute fiber (jute fiber addition ratio: 0.075 vol%; length: 12 mm; PP fiber addition ratio: 0.075 vol%; length: 12 mm) were experimentally investigated. The work was intended to clarify the influence of elevated temperatures ranging from 20 to 500℃ on the material mechanical properties of HPC at 80 MPa.

Jute rope is one of the most popular materials used for composites in various industries and in civil engineering. This experimental study investigated two types of jute rope with different diameters for jute rope composite plates to determine the best combination of jute rope and carbon fiber in terms of ratio and physical and mechanical properties. Eight combinations of carbon fiber and jute rope with different percentages of carbon fiber were analyzed. Tensile tests for the jute rope composite plate and hybrid jute rope composite were conducted, and the mechanical and physical properties of the specimens were compared. Thereafter, the ideal combinations of jute rope with an optimum percentage of carbon fiber were identified and recommended. These particular combinations had tensile strengths that were 2.23 times and 1.76 times higher than other varieties in each type.

Recently, natural fibers draw much interests in composite industry due to low cost, light weight, and environment-friendly characteristics compared with glass fibers. In this study, mechanical properties were evaluated for two extreme cases of jute fiber orientations, i.e. the unidirectional yarn composites and the felt fabric composites. Samples of jute fiber composites were fabricated by RTM process using epoxy resin, and tensile, compression, and shear tests were conducted. As can be expected, unidirectional fiber specimens in longitudinal direction showed the highest strength and modulus. Compared with glass/epoxy composites of the similar fabric architecture and fiber volume fraction, the tensile strength and modulus of jute felt/epoxy composites reached only 40% and 50% levels. However, the specific tensile strength and modulus increased to 80% and 90% of the glass/epoxy composites. The main reason for the poor mechanical properties of jute composites is associated with the weak interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix. The effect of surface treatment of jute fibers on the interfacial bonding will be examined in the future work.

The objective of the current study is to evaluate the effects depending on the types of reinforcing fibers being influential in view of mechanical properties and impact resistance of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) for applications to precast concrete structure. Hybrid fibers applied therefor were three types such as PP/MSF (polypropylene fiber+macro synthetic fiber), PVA/MAF (polyvinyl alcohol fiber+MSF) and JUTE/MSF (natural jute fiber+MSF), where the volume fraction of PP, PVA and natural jute was applied with 0.2 %, respectively, while based on 0.05 % volume fraction of MSF. The HFRC was tested for slump, compressive strength, flexural strength and impact resistance. The test result demonstrated that mixture of such hybrid fibers improve compressive strength, flexural strength and impact resistance of concrete. Moreover, it was found that HFRCs to which hydrophilic fibers, i.e. PVA/MSF and JUTE/MSF, were mixed show more improved features that HFRC to which non-hydrophilic fiber, i.e. PP/MSF was mixed. Meanwhile, the finding that PVA/MSF HFRC exhibited better performance than JUTE/MSF HFRC was attributed from the former having higher aspect ratio than that of the latter.

Jute와 Hemp 섬유/폴리프로필렌 (PP)의 내구성 및 계면 평가는 끓는 물 실험 전 후로 해서 조사되었고 끓는 물 실험 전 후에 따른 Jute와 Hemp 섬유의 수분함량은 TCA를 통해 측정되었다. 끓는 물 실험 후, Jute, Hemp섬유와 폴리프로필렌 기지재 사이의 계면전단강도와 기계적 물성은 감소하였다. 반면에 물에 의해 부풀어 오른 미소섬유에 의해 미처리경우와 비교해서 접착일은 증가를 하였다. 그리고 끓는 물 실험 전·후의 Jute, Hemp섬유와 폴리프로필렌의 표면에너지는 동 접촉각을 통해 얻어졌다. 계면전단강도는 항상 열역학의 접착일과 일치하지는 않는다. 끓는 물 내에서, Jute와 Hemp 섬유는 물에 의해 부풀어지게 된다. 그래서 표면적과 수분 침투공간이 증가한다. 끓는 물 실험 전 후의 Jute와 Hemp 섬유 미세파괴 경향은 명백하게 다르다. Jute와 Hemp 섬유/폴리프로필렌 복합재의 환경적 영향에 의한 미세파괴 형태는 광학 현미경을 통한 관찰과 음향 방출 수와 에너지에 의해 상호 일치함을 보여주었다. 끓는 물 실험 이후, Jute 섬유는 Hemp 섬유와 달리 부풀어진 피브릴에 의한 낮은 인장강도에서 나타나는 미세파괴 형태를 보여주었다. 또한, 부풀어진 피브릴에 의해 미세파괴시 음향 방출 수는 증가를 하였으며, AE 진폭과 에너지는 감소하였다.

This study evaluated the effects of fibers on the void ratio, compressive strength and repeated freezing and thawing resistance of porous vegetation concrete with binder type (non-sintering inorganic binder and blast furnace slag cement) and natural jute fiber volume fraction (0.0 %, 0.1 % and 0.2 %). The natural jute fiber volume fraction affected the void ratio, compressive strength and repeated freezing and thawing resistance. Added of natural jute fiber resulted in improved properties of the void ratio, compressive strength and freezing and thawing resistance. Also, the both compressive strength and freezing and thawing resistance increased with natural jute fiber volume fraction up to 0.1 % and then decreased with fiber volume fraction at 0.2 %.
