The effect of using polyethylene terephthalate as an additive on the flexural and compressive strength of concrete
The annual consumption of plastics in Nigeria has increased drastically and plastic wastes recycling has become one of the major challenges in recent times. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) has been selected in this study to ascertain its possible use as an additive in concrete construction. The stu...
