Is alfa a vegetal fiber suitable for making green reinforced structure concrete?

Many studies showed the interest of reinforcing composite materials with biofibers in the last decade. Producing more eco-friendly concretes, replacing synthetic fibers with natural and less expensive materials, is the main reason supporting these studies. Numerous plants have been investigated to reinforce concrete among which alfa has not been considered yet whilst it is made of cellulosic natural fibers with interesting stiffness and strength...
