In comparison to glass/carbon fibres, natural fibre is environmentally friendly and can be used as reinforcement in polymer-concrete composites. The pre-fabricated flax fibre reinforced polymer (FFRP) serves as a permanent formwork and confines the coconut fibre reinforced concrete (CFRC) core. Coir in concrete enhances ductility due to a fibre bridging effect, and increases the damping due to frictions at interfaces of widely distributed cracks. This study shows the performance of FFRP-CFRC composite bridge pier models under earthquake loading. The experimental results show the potential of this new composite material for use in structures built in earthquake prone regions.
