STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE USING RECYCLED PET

Plastic waste are being major reason non-biodegradable and cost effective materials with high strength are in great demand by construction industries. This paper deals with the possibility of using waste plastic as fibre in concrete by replacing 0.5 The test specimens are made in the form of Cube, Cylinder and Prism. Compression, Split Tensile and Flexural test is carried out to find the strength of concrete. The studies were conducted on a M per recommended procedures by relevant codes. Finally the obtained results using FRC are compared with conventional concrete.
