In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the international scientific community to
study natural fiber composites. Natural fibers have interesting mechanical features, such as …

The aging of buildings and structures, accompanied by an increase in the prices of
conventional building materials, has pushed the scientific community to explore new …

The research aim is to develop pure epoxy composites (PEC), PTL-reinforced epoxy
composites (PTLEC), PTL-loaded and E-glass fiber-incorporated epoxy composites …

Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and longer-lasting composite materials are increasingly
used as primary load-bearing materials in structures' design. The cost of rehabilitating …

Composites are used to reinforce existing structures to remedy current pathologies or
increase their loading capacity to resist loads higher than initially envisaged by the …

The sockets are generally made from carbon fiber which makes them cost high. Replacing
carbon fiber with a more ecological and socio-economical fiber such as Alfa fiber can …

The structures of historical monuments are mainly made up of curved structural elements.
These elements can be curved beams composed of a succession of caissons or curved …

Using steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is the most common practice nowadays.
However, the increase in steel price, its weakness against corrosion, its weight, and its …

The search for bio-based materials for structural applications has become a necessity.
Natural fiber-based composite materials, such as Alfa fiber, are suitable candidates for …

Using natural fibers in structural applications is the subject of much research in the scientific
world. Natural fibers are bio-sourced, biodegradable, have a low carbon footprint, and have …
