Abstract

The growing need for eco-friendly building materials has led researchers to look into new ways to use waste materials in making concrete. This study assesses the physical properties of conventional concrete infused with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle fibers sourced from recycled plastic waste. Concrete reinforced with PET bottle fibers is seen as a good way to improve performance while also dealing with environmental problems caused by throwing away plastic. To improve the physical properties of the concrete, waste PET bottle fibers were cut into small strips and mixed with the concrete in different amounts. Experiments were done to test the physical properties of the material at different curing ages. These properties included workability, density, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength. We looked at more things about how cracks form, how the concrete bonds, and how the structure responds. The results show that adding PET bottle fibers makes the material stronger and more flexible because they help control cracks and absorb more energy. This study shows that recycled PET fibers could be used in concrete, which would help with responsible construction and sustainable waste management.
