Strength Characteristics of Wasted Soft Drinks Can as Fiber Reinforcement in Lightweight Concrete

Abstract: Nowadays the problems of lightweight concrete flexural strength have been approached by adding fiber to the mixture. Meanwhile, waste materials are continuously produced as a result of the modern industry. This paper aims to increase the strength characteristic of both compressive and flexural lightweight concrete by introducing wasted soft-drink cans as fiber reinforced. A comprehensive study has been conducted to investigate the optimal amount of fiber fractions and the effect of fiber shape to the concrete … Show more

“…It was observed from the study that for 3% addition of aluminium can fibers tensile and flexural strength increase considerably. Similar work was also performed on the use of soft drink can fibers with different dosage of fibers by the volume of concrete [14,15]. It was found from the study that the tensile strength is increased by 1.5% and the compressive strength by 0.5%, however, with the increasing dosage of fibers, the compressive strength slightly decreases.…”

“…Serat/fiber kaleng bekas merupakan serat yang berasal dari kaleng bekas makanan/minuman yang diolah menjadi serat-serat kecil dengan ukuran tertentu. Penambahan fiber kaleng bekas pada pembuatan beton dapat meningkatkan kuat tekan dan kuat tarik belah [1] [2] dimana prosentase pengaruhnya dipengaruhi oleh rasio dimensi fiber, prosentase fraksi fiber dan bentuk fiber [3].…”

“…Nevertheless it is a known fact that the protection and conservation of the enviroment for sustanability basis can be realised through the reduction, reuse, and recycling of waste materials [8] but the issue of inadequate recycling facilities in many countries has made these strategies(reuse and recycling) to be of great concerns [9]. It is therefore necessary to find an innovative method of making use of the waste platic PET bottle cover as construction materials -in the production of eco -friendly concrete, which will help to minimise enviromental pollution, cost of environmental waste disposal and the dependence on the conventional concrete materials.…”
