Concrete has a very complicated system since it is establish mineralogical by several ingredients; whose effect is significant throughout loading of the constructional element.Due to its various nature and eco-friendly properties, natural fibers and its composites take a wide field of study from different researchers. Natural fibers have several advantages that make them widely used in the new industries, the most important benefit are biodegradable nature, continual source, easy handling and harmless treatment. While natural fibers showgorgeous mechanical and physical properties differ with the herbal source, classes, topography, and so forth. Annually, large amount of natural fibers are collected and unused everywhere in the world.Date Palm Fibers (DPF) can be an innovative gate of engineering material and can be prospective alternate of the costly and non-renewable manufactured fiber.The use of this fiber in engineering application as an original material would add to the worth of natural and sustainable wealth. Though, few studies on DPF have existed prepared defining the interfacial bond through fibers and composites but a full researches on DPF properties and its applications in civil field is not obtainable. This paper collected the basic details of DPF and compares the physical, mechanical and chemical characteristics with other natural fibers. Moreover, it abstract the previous effort collected on the introducing of DPF in concrete and cementitious composites and the behaviour of reinforced element like, strength, thermal shrinkage, thermal conductivity, and thermal insulation and so on after inclusion of DPF. This studyaims to find the probability of using date palm fiber as a raw material in construction industries.
