Fracture and impact properties of short discrete jute fibre-reinforced cementitious composites

► Early-age fracture and impact properties of JFRCC were investigated. ► JFRCC with GGBS exhibited higher fracture toughness than that with PFA. ► JFRCC with PFA possessed higher impact resistance than that with GGBS. ► Impact resistance of JFRCC mortars decreased with age. ► Fibre pull-out was observed in JFRCC with PFA while fibre fracture in that with GGBS.
