Recently, very rapid growth has been observed in the innovations and use of natural-fiber-
based materials and composites for acoustic applications due to their environmentally …

This paper addresses the quality of the interface-and edge-bonded joints in layers of cross-
laminated timber (CLT) panels. The shear performance was studied to assess the suitability …

This book focusses on the key areas and issues related to natural fibers and their reinforced
polymer composites. It starts with introduction and classification natural fibers, and their …

This study focuses on the development of epoxy/luffa composites and the investigation of
their mechanical and acoustical properties. The fibers underwent an alkalization treatment …

This study presents a testing campaign aimed at evaluating the strength and stiffness
properties of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) specimens. LVL is an engineered wood …

The introduction of openings in structural walls could cause unfavourable seismic
behaviour, leading to stringent reinforcement requirements for wall piers. High-strength steel …

There are significant environmental and health consequences associated with oil-
contaminated sand due to its toxic and persistent nature. The impacts include disrupted …

The aim of this work was to investigate the corrosion of reinforcing rebar inserted in
geopolymer concrete (GPC) made from fly ash (FA) containing 10% paper sludge ash (PSA) …

The role of chemical modification of pristine linen fiber (LF) on its physicochemical and
adsorption properties is reported in this contribution. The surface and textural properties of …

Natural fibers are of different types of plants, animals, and mineral types. Uses of these fiber-
reinforced composites are increasing day by day in daily life applications like in sports …
