 DEFINATION

 NATURAL FIBER

It Is Defined as one of the delicate, Hair

portions of the tissues of the plant or the animal or the
other substances that are very small in diameter in
relation to their length.

 JUTE FIBER

Jute is an attractive natural fibre for use as an

reinforcement in composite because of its low cost,
renewable nature and much lower energy requirement
for processing .
Jute fiber are composed primarily of plant
material cellulose and lignin. JUTE FIBER

 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF
JUTE FIBER

 Jute is long, soft and shiny, with a length of 1 to 4 m and diameter from 17
to 20 microns.

 It is one of nature’s strongest vegetable fibers and ranks second only to

cotton in terms of production quantity.

 Jute has high insulating and anti-static properties, moderate moisture regain
and low thermal conductivity.

 Effect of light :-color changes slightly in presence of sunlight .

 Effect of mildew:- prevention ability better than mildew and linen .

 PROBLEM STATEMENT

 The properties of various fibers were identified and jute fiber is chosen as a
natural fiber to replace by 1% weight of cement. And also it was treated
with alkali and polymer latex such that the properties of jute fiber will
change. And comparing in M40 grade plain cement concrete, raw jute
cement concrete and modified jute cement concrete for compressive, split
tensile and flexural strength.

7
 OBJECTIVES

 To determine compressive strength of cubes for M40 grade of concrete and

compare it with addition of raw jute fibre and with modified jute fibre.

 To determine tensile strength of cubes for M40 grade of concrete and compare
it with addition of raw jute fibre and with modified jute fibre.

 To determine Ultimate load carrying capacity of cubes for M40 grade of

concrete and compare it with addition of raw jute fibre and with modified jute
fibre.

 SCOPE OF WORK

 India is one of the largest producer of jute in the world

 Fibres can play important role in overcoming discrepancies like brittleness,

low tensile strength ,poor resistant to crack.

 Economic considerations have restricted the use of carbon fibers

 Micro crack formation and propagation can be minimized by dispersion of

short fibers which improves mechanical properties

 chemical composition can modify the fiber surface as well as strengthen the
cement composite

 FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE

,basalt and the polymer is usually an epoxy,
vinylester etc.

 Composite material made of a polymer

matrix reinforced with jute fibres is called
jute fiber reinforced concrete.

 METHODLOGY

 Initially the chopped fibers of 6 cm length were immersed for 24 h in half

of the total volume of water.

 Jute cement slurry is prepared by constant stirring .

 Sand and rest of cement was mixed with this jute-cement slurry.

 The fresh cement concrete thus obtained was cast immediately in molds
and allowed to setting.

 All the specimens were demolded after 24 h of casting and water cured for
7 and 28 days respectively.

Modification of raw jute fibre

Modification with alkali

Modification with polymer latex

20
 ALKALINE TREATMENT

 Alkaline treatment with 0.5% NaOH Solution of water for 24 hrs

 Also known as mercerization.

 The important modification is the distruption of hydrogen bonding

in the network structure, thereby increasing surface roughness.

 Removal of certain amount of lignin, wax and oils covering the

external surface of fibre cell wall.

 Depolymerizes cellulose and lignin

 Exposes the short length crystallites

21
 EFFECTS OF ALKALINE TREATMENT ON
FIBER

 It increases surface roughness resulting in better mechanical interlocking .

 It increases the amount of cellulose exposed on the fibre surface.

 Also increasing the number of possible reaction sites .

22
 CHANGE IN MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF
CONCRETE DUE TO ADDITION OF JUTE

 Tensile strength
As the tensile strength of jute is high i.e. about 393-773 Mpa so the
addition of jute increases the tensile strength of concrete .

 Specific gravity
The incorporation of jute fiber into the cement-concrete matrix will
decrease the specific gravity of the composite, because the specific gravity
of jute fiber (1.6 g/cm3) is much smaller than that of reference concrete
(2.43 g/cm3).

 Compressive strength
The strength of composites will increase with low fiber content
within the range 0.5 – 1.0%.

alkali or latex in water half of

 PLACING OF CONCRETE
After the mixing of
concrete it is filled in different

is the process which expels

entrapped air from freshly placed
concrete and packs the aggregate
particles together so as to increase the

 CONCLUSION

1) It was observed that when the jute is chemically treated then its degradation
decreases.

2) It was observed that when the raw jute is added in concrete by 1% weight of cement
then the compressive strength of concrete cube increased by 9.74% and by adding
modified jute compressive strength increase by 19.24%.

3) It was observed that when the raw jute is added in concrete by 1% weight of cement
then the split tensile strength of concrete cylinder increased by 11.78% and by
adding modified jute split tensile strength increase by 16%.

4) ) It was observed that when the raw jute is added in concrete by 1% weight of
cement then the shear strength of concrete cube increased by 7.61% and by adding
modified jute shear strength increase by 15.14%.

Hence, it is proved that modified replacement proportion is beneficial to use

in practice as it gives workable concrete with more compressive, flexural and
tensile strength.
