Performance of Fiber Reinforced Concrete from Recycled Pet Plastic Waste- A Study Review
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Concrete is a composite material consisting of various ingredients such as cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and has done wonders in the construction industry. The recent use of the concrete has constrained many civil engineers to add some relevant constituents in various proportions to the cement or any other. The environmental degradation from various types of non-bio degradable wastes are not only making the environment hazardous but also are having a serious implications on the human lives and other living things.. In our investigations PET fibers were incorporated in the M20 and M30 grades of concrete by the weight fraction of cement percentages in 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% and then the mechanical property viz. compressive strength as well as flexural strength of the concrete was compared with the conventional concrete and a trend was established which was analyzed as per the civil engineering standards. This paper addresses the results of an investigation on the influence of Recycled PET (R-PET) fibers plastics as reinforcement of cement matrix. In this study, the conventional concrete was reinforced by the plastic fibers obtained from waste plastic bottles. All specimens were tested after curing age 28 days. In this paper the relationship between cube compressive strength for conventional and plastic fibers reinforced concrete were established and compared with standards.
