Abstract
Recently, natural fibres are gaining increasing popularity to develop ‘environmental-friendly construction materials’ as alternative to synthetic fibres in fibre-reinforced concrete. Natural and cellulose fibres have been used in polymer and cement matrices to improve their tensile/flexural strength and fracture resistance properties. They are cheaper, biodegradable and lighter than synthetic fibres. Some examples of natural fibres are: sisal, flax, hemp, bamboo and others.
