“…The water absorption and permeability of concrete are affected by the water absorption of the concrete component. Meena et al [ 58 ] claimed that the water absorption of PET, fine aggregates, and coarse aggregates is 0%, 1.54%, and 0.85–1.1%, respectively. As permeability or water absorption is reduced, concrete will be more durable [ 56 , 76 ].…”

In general, plastic waste has been growing remarkably. Numerous waste plastic products are generated by manufacturing processes, service industries, and municipal solid waste (MSW). The increase in plastic waste increases concern about the environment and how to dispose of the generated waste. Thus, recycling plastic waste becomes an alternative technique to the disposal of plastic waste in a limited landfill. One of the solutions is to use plastic waste as recycled material in concrete construction to produce what is called green concrete. This research illustrates a summary of studies that utilized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in concrete as a volume ratio or concrete aggregate replacement. It presents data with regard to mixing design and concrete behavior when PET is used. Moreover, using PET in concrete industries may reduce environmental pollution such as the emission of carbon dioxide and plastic waste disposal problems.

“…Moreover, a high steel fiber content affects the workability of concrete to a certain extent. 5,6 Discussion on this paper must be submitted within two months of the print publication. The discussion will then be published in print, along with the authors' closure, if any, approximately nine months after the print publication.…”

To improve the tensile properties of steel fiber–reinforced reactive powder concrete (SFRPC), we prepared aligned steel fiber–reinforced reactive powder concrete (ASFRPC) members by controlling the fiber distribution under a magnetic field. Four‐point bending tests were carried out to examine the flexural tensile properties of the SFRPC and ASFRPC members. In comparison with SFRPC members under the same conditions, we found that the flexural capacity of ASFRPC members increased by 72.4%–149.5%. Moreover, the flexural toughness, residual strength coefficient, and residual load of ASFRPC members were greatly improved. The bearing capacity and toughness of both SFRPC and ASFRPC members were reduced to a certain extent with the increase in the water–binder ratio. The increase in the fiber length and content effectively improved the bending mechanical properties of the SFRPC and ASFRPC members; in particular, the increase in the fiber length significantly improved the deformation capacity of the members.

“…The optimum percentage of admixture was found to be 10% of PET, which improved the qualities of fresh and hardened concrete. Ayush et al [16] replaced recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate fiber in the concrete with fine aggregate and investigated workability, and mechanical properties. Their study concluded that plastics can be used in concrete up to 3% as a partial substitution for fine aggregate, as they reduce workability, increase compressive strength, and also decrease concrete density.…”

The mechanical properties of mortar containing Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) as Strapping Band Fibers (SBF) replacing natural sand have been studied by many researchers. These studies indicate that when SBF is used as a substitute for sand in mortar, the characteristics in both the fresh and hardened states are altered. This experiment’s purpose is to valorize local materials, which are abundant in the region of Djelfa (Algeria), in cement mortar manufacturing and to discuss the influence of these materials on the mechanical and physical characteristics of the resulting mortar at the room, and at the high temperature. This study presents the results of an experimental investigation into the effects of high temperatures on the properties of dune sand mortar made with strapping band fibers. The method for formulating the mortar mixes was based on the progressive replacement of dune sand by PET fibers, with weight contents of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%. Several tests have been carried out to study the evolution of the different characteristics of mortar mixtures. The workability, bulk density, compressive and tensile strengths, and all samples were subjected to temperatures of ambient, 100 °C, 200 °C, and 400 °C. The results demonstrate that the inclusion of the recycled fibers and the preservation mode had remarkable effects on the characteristics of the mortar obtained.
