Natural fibres are present in relatively large quantities all over the world and natural vegetable fibres are produced in most developing countries. Such natural fibres have been used to strengthen non-organic materials for thousands of years. Examples include straw for brick, mud in poles, and plaster with bamboo. In this century, fibres such as those from coconut, bamboo, wood cellulose, wool or chips, bark, leaves, seeds and fruits have been used in sand-based cement products. Fibres can be divided into two categories: natural and man-made. The advantages of using natural fibres are that the materials are readily available, inexpensive and environmentally friendly. The existence of these natural materials can be renewed, so reliance on limited resources or resources that are not environmentally friendly will be reduced. In this paper, the various l...
