摘要

In the present-day highly competitive and environmentally conscious market, traditional construction methods are no longer viable. At the same time, people are becoming increasingly concerned about the depletion of natural resources, which is contributing to the growing demand for urbanization. The agricultural products that are used in building offer a substantial number of renewable resources. The utilization of natural fiber, such as the hemp fiber (HF) that is accessible for commercial usage, contributes to the success of the prototype. Hemp is a plant that is easily accessible, has production methods that are both flexible and sustainable, and has a good influence on carbon sequestration. The physio-mechanical qualities of HF are superb, including high tensile strength and great insulating capacity, among other advantageous characteristics.The nonuniformity that is intrinsic to natural materials and the inadequacies that are imposed in the use of HF for composites, such as increased permeability and slow setting, are the factors that are preventing a wider acceptance of this material. The comparison between the conventional concrete with the HFC mentioned as S1, S2, S3, and S4 with various percentage of fibre added in the concrete specimens. There is a peak result shown in the S3 specimen than the all-other specimens compared in this study. This shows the bonding and better crack propagation mechanisms in the concrete matrix. The results show that there is a peak strength in additional of 3% of hemp fibre which proves that the flexibility of the concrete specimen is improved than the conventional concrete.
