Abstract
Waste plastic bottles are the major reason for solid waste disposal. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is usually used for carbonated beverages and water bottles. The waste plastic bottles are difficult to biodegrade and involve processes either to recycle or reuse. The construction industry is in require of finding cost effective materials for increasing the strength of concrete structures. This paper deals with the possibility of using the waste PET bottles as the different aspect ratios of 17, 33, and 50, size of fibre added into the concrete with 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% PET bottle fibres for fine aggregate were produced and compared against control mix with no replacement. Cube specimens, cylinder specimens of 27 numbers each were cast cured, and tested for 3 days, 7 days, and 28 days strength. Compression tests, splitting tensile tests, and flexural strength tests were done and the results were compared with control specimens.
