This research paper explores the use of chemically-treated natural fibres, specifically flax and hemp, as reinforcement in cementitious materials to enhance multiple cracking and autogenous healing. The study found that proper chemical treatments, particularly mercerisation with sodium hydroxide, improved the mechanical properties and durability of the fibres, allowing for optimal crack healing. The findings suggest that natural fibres can serve as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic microfibres in con
