“…Therefore, higher resistance to impact loads and load carrying capacity are required in this kind of applications [5][6]. In regards to the said matter, Mohammadhosseini, et al [7][8][9] reported that fibre reinforced composites have the ability to address the brittleness of concrete. Utilization of waste metalized plastic fibres in the production of concrete has revealed possibility towards the sustainable and green construction with a benefit of the harmless alternative of waste plastics disposal [7].…”

Disposal of waste polycarbonate plastic is a serious environmental issue all around the globe, on account of its health hazard and difficulty in land filling. As a possible solution to the problem of polycarbonate plastic waste, an experimental study was conducted to examine the potential of using it as sand replacement in the concrete. This paper examines impact strength properties of concrete in which different amounts 2.5%, 5% and 10% of polycarbonate plastic waste particles were used as sand replacement. For each amount, six beams of 100 mm ×100 mm × 500mm were subjected to 4.5 kg hammer from 480mm height. The number of blows of the hammer required to induce the ultimate failure of the beams were recorded. The results are presented in terms of impact energy required for the ultimate failure. The concrete mixtures exhibited ability to absorb a large amount of impact energy. The polycarbonate plastic waste increased the ultimate failure impact energy of concrete.

“…Among others, the most popular types of fibres mixed into concrete are glass, steel, polypropylene (PP), waste fibre from pre-and post-consumer and natural fibres [10][11][12][13]. Utilisation of post-consumer waste plastics such as polyethene terephthalate (PET) in the production of concrete has revealed possibility towards the sustainable and green construction with a benefit of the harmless alternative of waste plastics disposal [14,15]. However, the waste metallic plastics are not reprocessed efficiently and have been ignored thus far regarding their potential and sustainable use in the production of green concrete.…”

The consumption of waste materials is one of the essential concerns of waste management strategies in many parts of the world. With the advances in concrete technology, the utilisation of waste materials in the sustainable construction has developed increasingly widespread because of technological, economic and ecological advantages. This paper presents the workability and mechanical properties of concrete incorporating waste chopped metallic film (WCMF) fibres and palm oil fuel ash (POFA). Waste plastic results in waste discarding disaster and consequently causes significant harms to the environment. WCMF fibres were prepared by recycling metallic-plastic films used for food packaging. Six concrete mixes containing 0-1.25% WCMF fibres with a length of 20 mm were made of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Further, six concrete mixes with the same fibre content were made, where 20% POFA substituted OPC. The combination of WCMF fibres and POFA decreased the workability of concrete mixes. The inclusion of WCMF fibres to OPC and POFA concrete mixes decreased the compressive strength. However, at the curing period of 91 days, the POFA-based mixes obtained higher compressive strength values than those of OPC-based mixtures. The positive interaction between WCMF fibres and POFA consequently enhanced the flexural and tensile strengths, impact resistance, thereby increasing energy absorption capacity and ductility of concrete composites. It revealed that WCMF fibres acted as a bridge arrester and improved the load-transfer capacity of the concrete specimens. The study showed that the utilisation of WCMF fibres in the production of sustainable concrete is a beneficial, affordable and feasible solution. Keywords. Sustainability; fibre-reinforced concrete; waste chopped metallic film fibres; palm oil fuel ash; workability; mechanical properties.

Application of concrete for pavement and barrier purposes demands ample energy absorption capacity and impact resistance characteristics. These attributes were investigated for concrete produced by using waste plastic shredded fibers (WPSF), which were obtained by shredding waste plastic bags. The WPSF were incorporated in concrete at an amount of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 5.0% by weight of concrete. The strength (compressive and impact), and the ability to absorb the energy of concrete samples incorporating WPSF were evaluated. Additionally, empirical relations were also developed between WPSF fraction and compressive strength; WPSF fraction and impact energy for the first crack; WPSF fraction and impact energy for final failure; and WPSF fraction and energy absorption capacity using regression analysis method. The outcomes of the tests showed that there was a systematic decline in compressive strength of concrete on the inclusion of WPSF. However, superior energy absorption capacity and higher resistance to impact of concrete specimens were observed on the inclusion of WPSF. It was thus concluded that WPSF could be incorporated in concrete up to certain level for producing sustainable concrete pavement and barrier.
