Short-Term Durability of Hemp Fibers

Procedia Engineering, 2017
Abstract Short-term durability tests on hemp-fiber confined concrete cylinders made up of one layer of hemp-fiber bundles were conducted to study their behavior. Compression test was performed after wetting and drying cycles in both water and seawater. Moreover, uniaxial tension test on hemp-fiber bundles was conducted to study the effect of extended
