Abstract

AbstractFibre reinforced polymers are light, corrosion resistant, and resilient, thereby creating a boom for the future technical knowhow in means of transportation ranging from roadways, railways, and airways. Use of natural fibre by mankind can be dated back since ages ago like building materials. Polymers’ invention in the early nineteenth century opened new doors for a researcher to use natural fibre. Synthetic fibre, for example, glass fibre, usage has skyrocketed fibre. More usage of synthetic fibre leads to pollution during its manufacture and recycling shifting the need to use from synthetic to natural fibre. This generated newfound interest in the new ways of natural fibre and to be neck-to-neck of the synthetic fibres. Nowadays, it is being used in aerospace and building industry. Here, the testing has been done to calculate confinement modulus and strength, thereby plotting load vs deflection and axial stress versus axial strain. Comparison has been carried out between confinement modulus and strength when they are fully and partially warped.KeywordFibre reinforcement polymersConcreteConstruction managementBuldings
