A review of recent developments in structural applications of natural fiber-Reinforced composites (NFRCs)

Hossein Abdollahiparsa et al.

Summary: Natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs) are gaining recognition as a viable alternative to traditional materials in civil engineering, but also face challenges such as high manufacturing costs, uncertainties about their properties, and lack of understanding among engineers. This review provides an overview of NFRCs, their manufacture, structural applications, and discusses the prospects of bio-composite applications and emerging trends in novel bio-composites.

First Bio-Based Composite Movable Bicycle Bridge

Wouter Claassen et al.

Summary: The first bio-based composite movable bridge has been built in the Netherlands, with the bridge deck made of 85% bio-based material. The bridge features an advanced monitoring system collecting data on the behavior of the bio-based deck, including deformations, moisture content, loads and temperature.
