Our study delves into two crucial aspects:

- The impact of water on the mechanical performance of jute fiber composite mortar.

- Utilizing the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method to analyze crack openings during flexural tests.

Key findings highlight that the amount of water used in the preparation significantly affects the mechanical properties of the composite mortar. This research underscores the necessity of adding extra water when incorporating jute fibers to optimize performance.
