| description | In this article, flexural strength and compressive strength of
concrete containing polypropylene fiber (PP), polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) waste fiber and a combination between them
were experimentally investigated. For this reason, laboratory
experiments were performed on a total of 40 mixes. Results show
that compressive strength property of concrete reinforced with
PET waste fiber is not comparable to that of concrete reinforced
with PP fiber, in which there is a compressive strength reduction,
and the effect of PET fiber length on the strength is not important.
Behavior of concrete contained PET waste fiber in flexure was
found better. There is a good opportunity to use a hybrid fiber
(25% PET and 75% PP) to enhance flexural strength of concrete. |
