Abstract
The topic of the article is the verification of the tensile mechanical characteristics of selected natural fibres commonly available on the Czech market. Due to their high tensile strengths, some natural materials have a certain potential for use in specific engineering applications such as concrete reinforcement. Additionally, natural fibres are renewable materials, making them an environmentally friendly material. Potentially, its use as a reinforcement in the form of technical textiles for textilereinforced concrete could help create more sustainable reinforced concrete elements. This article deals with tensile tests of chosen available natural fibre materials, such as flax, hemp, jute, and sisal, both pure and impregnated (homogenised) using epoxy resin. In this article, the results and comparisons of tensile strengths and Young’s modulus are presented.
