Flax is planted in rather cold climate for clothing and food, and can be made into nature fiber. The cost of flax fiber sheet is significantly less than conventional Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) sheet. Flax fabric contains flax fibers in two orthogonal directions (warp and weft directions). In this study, beam test for six rectangular beam specimens with FRP sheet and one control specimen are conducted. As results, it is verified that flax fiber strengthening is effective for enhancement of shear behavior. In addition, the result of flax fiber is discussed by comparing with the case of PET fiber. |
