Potential External Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beam Using Natural Fiber Composite Plate

Natural fiber composites have been extensively studied due to its low environmental impact, low cost and available under a wide range of applications. A study has been conducted to investigate the potential use of mengkuang leaves or Pandanus atrocarpus bonded with epoxy resin as external strengthen...

A study has been conducted to investigate the potential use of mengkuang leaves or Pandanus atrocarpus bonded with epoxy resin as external strengthening material for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams.
