An Overview of Strength and Durability Aspects of Concrete Using PET Fibres
As a widely used construction material, concrete plays a very important role in the construction industry. Concrete reinforced with fibrous material is called as fibre reinforced concrete. Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is a new structural material that is becoming increasingly important due to rise in concrete structural strength and integrity. Rapid urbanisation and industrialization and overuse of plastics in day to day life all over the world have resulted in large accumulation of plastic waste materials all over. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste is obtained from disposable PET bottles is the major cause of solid disposal. This research is expected to encourage the use of waste plastics in the construction industry to regulate the pollution of the environment and the harm caused to humans. Use of plastic fibres into the concrete as a reinforcing material has attracted widespread attention from all over the world due to its long-term benefits especially in the construction industry. In the current paper, reviewing of the impact of PET fibres on properties of concrete is undertaken.
