INVESTIGATION OF USABILITY OF POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE AS FIBER ADMIXTURES IN CONCRETE
Abstract :
The expected needs from concrete with the developing construction sector and technology are increasing every day. These needs are eliminated by the use of admixtures materials in the concrete. Their disposal and recycling as well as environmental pollution created by industrial wastes are causing to various financial and technological problems. The utilization of industrial waste in the construction sector, alongside the destruction of wastes in a safe way it can be reduces of damages to the environment to get raw materials. In this study, a constant water/cement ratio (0.55) and in two different cement types (CEM II / BM (P-LL) 32.5 N and CEM I 42.5 R) was prepared mixtures. Usability of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is industrial waste, as alternative to polypropylene fibers in the mixtures was investigated. Effects on fresh and hardened properties of PET used at the different proportions instead of aggregates in concrete were investigated as comparison with concretes of polypropylene fibers. According to the obtained experimental results, the fresh and hardened properties of concrete as depending on the amount of PET and using polypropylene fibers are reducing. However, it can be used as alternative to polypropylene fibers in concrete.
