“…Future research should also focus on other non-metallic waste materials with higher (in comparison to PET) tensile strength. Polypropylene (PP), which is characterised by tensile strength equal to 150 MPa (Mohammed & Karim 2023) is one of the possible solutions. Moreover, one can also conceptualise modifying the proposed PET reinforcing bars by waste glass or carbon fibres characterised by tensile strength equal to 1900 MPa and 2900 MPa, respectively (Ho et al 2023, Zhu et al 2022.…”

A concept of producing reinforcing bars for concrete elements from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles is presented in the paper. The proposed technology of production harnesses strips of PET cut from bottles and thermal treatment. Finally, a sand-resin coating is applied to the composite bars. Produced bars can be differentiated by utilising different numbers of strips influencing the diameter of a bar. The key mechanical properties of the bars containing 3 to 8 strips were tested during the research program. Maximum loadings and displacements were established. Problems regarding the future application of the bars in question were discussed. Areas of need for further research were pointed out.

“…The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the impact strength of concrete incorporating PET fibres at various fractions. Mohammed [Mohammed and Karim 2023] conducted studies pertaining to the mechanical characteristics and impact strength of highstrength concrete that contained PET waste fibre. Concrete was mixed with varying lengths of PET fibres (10 mm, 20 mm, and 40 mm) at volumes of 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50 %.…”

<p>Concrete, being the construction material that is extensively employed, possesses various limitations despite its adaptability in building projects. It exhibits weakness when subjected to tension, has restricted ductility, and offers minimal resistance against cracking. Concrete is widely used in construction due to its high strength. The aim of this study is to conduct experimental research on the utilization of PET fibre as a construction material in concrete, which is technically sound and environmentally safe. The use of PET fibre in various engineering applications can solve the problem of disposal of plastic waste. PET fibre can be used in concrete to improve its ductile parameters. PET wires of 50 mm in length and 3 mm in width are used in this work. The tests conducted on M30 grade concrete included assessments of its strength in compression, strength in split tensile, strength in flexure, and resistance to impact. The percentages of addition were 0 %, 0.25 % and 0.5 % density of fibre. The impact properties of PET fibre concrete were studied. Test results showed that there is improvement in compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and a significant increase in impact resistance of concrete after the addition of PET fibres.</p>

Industrial waste, including glass and plastic, has become widespread in recent years, harming the nature and environment in which we live. Recycling this waste in concrete appears to be one of the best solutions because of its economic and environmental benefits. In this study, the performance of concrete containing plastic waste in the form of fibers and glass waste as a partial replacement for cement was investigated. The effects of both wastes on workability and air content were studied for fresh concrete mixes, as well as their impact on the chloride penetration and carbonation resistance of hardened concrete. The effect of elevated temperature on the compressive strength, weight loss, and ultrasonic pulse velocity of the different mixes was also tested. The results showed that the combination of two wastes in the same mixture contributed to an improvement in the resistance to chloride penetration by 20.5% in the long term. The addition of glass powder to concrete increases the depth of carbonation, whereas the inclusion of plastic fibers reduces the depth of carbonation.
