Plant fibers have major advantages over synthetic fibers, including biodegradability, light weight, low cost, non-abrasiveness, and acceptable mechanical Nowadays, the use of natural fiber reinforced polymer-based composites is gradually increasing day by day for their many advantages for civil engineering construction applications. These types of composites present many advantages compared to synthetic fibers, such as low tool wear [6], low density, cheaper cost, availability, and biodegradability [7].
