Review Of Hybrid Composite Materials For Enhancing Concrete Cylinder Columns: A Focus On Jute And E-Glass Laminates

Abstract

This literature review investigates the potential of hybrid jute and E-glass fiber laminates in enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete cylinder columns. The study comprehensively examines existing research on the tensile, compressive, and flexural strength improvements offered by these composite materials. As a sustainable alternative, fiber-reinforced composites, particularly those incorporating natural fibers such as jute, have garnered attention. This review highlights significant improvements in the performance of concrete structures when reinforced with jute and E-glass laminates, emphasizing their potential in concrete rehabilitation. These hybrid composites offer a balanced solution to the limitations of traditional methods, providing enhanced structural integrity without significantly increasing weight. The findings advocate for further research to optimize these materials for sustainable and effective application in modern construction.
