Abstract |
In general, the trend of annual consumption of all type of plastics is increase tremendously all over the world has been growing in phenomenal way. Waste plastic bottle are large amount of solid waste disposal, Polyethylene Terephythalate (PET) is usually used for carbonated quencher and various types of plastic bottles. With the phenomenal day by day increase in plastic consumption the problems with plastic waste disposal have also inflame. The PET fibers used in this study were obtained manually from waste water bottles. M30 grade of concrete we are studied as alternative replacements of a part of the conventional aggregates of concrete. The results showed a good performance of the continuous PET fiber reinforcement than that of the short. PET bottle waste is used as reinforcement for concrete and the flexural strength of hardened concrete at 7days, 14days, & 28days was tested and compared with conventional concrete and steel reinforced concrete. |
