Abstract
The use of natural fibers as construction materials has been made possible by people's growing awareness of environmentally friendly building materials. Natural fibers are currently used extensively for a variety of uses, such as sills, roof coverings, floor slabs, bio composite reinforcement, fiber composite board materials (fiberboard), even pre-cast lightweight bridge components. The mechanical properties of the materials used in civil engineering must adhere to very strict standards. In terms of mechanical properties, switching from natural to synthetic fibers can be a solution, but the resulting products are less eco-friendly. Combining natural and synthetic fibers in a specific ratio, or fiber hybridization, as a composite reinforcement, is one of the options produce a composite that has great mechanical properties while also falling in the category of eco-friendly. In this study the fibers used for hybridization are abaca fiber and fiberglass and the resin used is epoxy with the base ratio of 30% fiber and 70% epoxy resin. The ratios of fiberglass for each type of samples are 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The results show that there’s a significant increase in mechanical properties when fiberglass are added. According to the tensile test results, the sample that has the best tensile stress (41.162 MPa) and tensile elastic modulus (2336.586 MPa) is TM-4 (20% fiberglass; 10% abaca fiber) and the flexural test results show that the sample with the highest flexural stress (120.407 MPa) is FM-4.
