Natural Fiber
摘要
Natural fibers, derived from plants, animals, or minerals, are increasingly used as reinforcement in cement and concrete to improve their mechanical properties and sustainability. These fibers, such as sisal, jute, coir, and hemp, offer a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fibers. Incorporating natural fibers into concrete can enhance its toughness, crack resistance, and energy absorption capabilities, making it particularly suitable for use in areas subjected to severe environmental conditions.
