The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of introducing jute yarn on the mechanical properties of concrete. Jute fibre is produced abundantly in Bangladesh and hence, very cheap. The investigation on the enhancement of mechanical properties of concrete with jute yarn as reinforcement, if enhanced, will not only explore a way to improve the properties of concrete, it will also explore the use of jute and restrict the utilization of polymer which is environmentally detrimental. To accomplish the objective, an experimental investigation of the compressive, flexural and tensile strengths of Jute Yarn Reinforced Concrete composites (JYRCC) was conducted. Cylinders, prisms and cubes of standard dimensions had been made to introducing jute yarn varying the mix ratio of the ingredients in concrete, water cement ratio, length and volume of yarn to know the effect of parameters as mentioned. Compressive, flexural and tensile strength tests had been conducted on the prepared samples by appropriate testing apparatus following Standards of tests. Mechanical properties of JYRCC were observed to be enhanced for a particular range of lengths of cut (10, 15, 20 and 25 mm) and volume content of jute yarn (0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75%). The maximum increment of compressive, flexural and tensile strengths observed in the investigation were 33, 23 and 38%, respectively with respect to concrete without jute yarn.

The main objective of the study was to develop jute yarn-reinforced concrete composites and to investigate the effect of yarn length and content (volume fraction) on its mechanical behaviour.

Materials: The locally available raw jute yarn of 10 lb/spyndle with 5 TPI (Twist per inch) was used without any treatment. This jute yarn with four different cut lengths (10, 15, 20 and 25 mm) also were applied with various volumetric percentage on concrete mixture. Ordinary Portland cement were applied as binding materials, normal consistency of which was 30 %, initial setting time was 132  min and the final setting time was 7.00  h. Sand (fineness modulus = 2.5) and 25  mm down well graded crushed bricks were used as coarse aggregate. Concrete mix: Mix design is the selection of mix ingredients and their proportions required in a concrete mix. The mix design involves that amount of cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate be available and the relation between water/cement ratio and target strength must be known. Since, the objective of the study was to investigate the effect of incorporating jute yarn on the mechanical properties of concrete, the mix design with target strength was not accomplished in the study. Rather, the commonly practised mix ratio used in Bangladesh and other neighbouring countries like parts of India and Pakistan was used. To this end, in the present study, two different mix ratios, cement: sand: brick chips (by volume) = 1:2:4 and 1:1.5:3 and water/cement ratio (by weight) 0.60 and 0.55 were cautiously maintained. In concrete mix preparation, initially different jute yarn cut length and volumetric content were applied in the concrete mix and observed the mixing performance to obtain better arrangement of jute. And finally jute yarn of 10, 15, 20 and 25 mm lengths with 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% volume dosing were selected; and lastly samples were prepared for a particular set of parameters. Preparation of the test specimen: The different parameters of the concrete composites, the length and volume fraction of the jute yarn content were used. The different lengths of yarn 10, 15, 20 and 25 mm and the contents 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% were used. Three different specimens; cubes (150 mm × 150 mm × 150  mm), prisms (450  mm × 150  mm × 150  mm) and cylinders (150  mm × 300  mm) were cast to determine the compressive, flexural and tensile strength of the composites, respectively. The yarns were cut to the mentioned length manually by a hand scissor. The mixing of the ingredients were done by a pan mixer accordingly jute yarns were added slowly and evenly to the concrete mix, so that, a uniform distribution of yarns throughout of the concrete could be confirmed. Cement was added into the mixer and mixing was conducted followed by the addition of water, until uniformity was achieved. This way of concrete mixing was continued for about 3 min. Then the freshly mixed concrete was poured in the moulds of cube, prism and cylinder. After that the specimens were left 24 h for de-moulding. They were then cured in water for at least 28 days. At the end of curing period the specimens were allowed to be dried in air for 24 h before testing. Experimental program: The present study consists of determining the flexural, compressive and tensile strength of concrete composites with jute yarn and was compared to that of plain concrete. A Universal Testing Machine (Model-UTN-100, India, Capacity-980 KN.) for tensile test and an Automatic Compression Testing Machine (MATEST s.r.l, Italy, capacity 3000 KN) for compressive test and an Automatic Flexural Strength Testing Machine (MATEST s.r.l, Italy, Capacity 150 KN.) for flexural test were used. In addition, the microscopic views of tested specimens were also analysed. Compressive strength testing: Compressive strength of a concrete is a measure of its ability to resist static load, when the later one tends to crush it. Testing of compressive strength is the most common, many desirable characteristics of concrete are related to its strength, and hence the compressive strength of concrete in structural design is of utmost importance. Additionally, the compressive strength gives a good and clear indication that how the strength affected with the increase of fibre volume dosage rate in the test specimens. In AS 1012, it is mentioned that the specimens for compressive strength should be 150  mm diameter and 300 mm height, but this only applies to the maximum aggregate size more than 20  mm while the cube specimen with 150 mm in each side (AS 1012 2002), and the intensity of load is determined in MPa. qualitatively. The compression test procedure was carried out according to test method AS 1012.9.

In the experimental investigations conducted in the study, it was found that, the addition of jute yarn contributes enriched results for mechanical properties of concrete composites for a particular yarn length and yarn content. More specifically, compressive, flexural, and tensile strength were found to enhance significantly for volume content of 0.1 and 0.25 % and the yarn cut length of 10 and 15 mm. However, with larger yarn length and content the mechanical properties were found to affect adversely. Finally the jute yarn showed the positive contribution to minimize irregular mixing disabilities of concrete composites that creates major problem regarding fibre reinforcement. So JYRCC can be developed with locally fabricated jute yarn in Bangladesh. The least cost of jute yarn, its being renewable resources, the reduced weight of the JYRCC and the environmental compatibility would clearly show the socioeconomic viability of JYRCC. This diversified use of jute may redeem the lost glory of jute in Bangladesh.
