What is Effect of Fiber Parameters on the Strength Properties of Concrete Reinforced with PET Waste Fibers about?
In this paper, comparative experimental study on the performance of steel fiber and PET fiber reinforced concrete has been performed. Experimental tests were carried out to highlight the effect of PET fiber parameters, mainly fiber dimensions, on the mechanical properties and fiber pull-out behavior of concrete. Results indicate that compared with steel fiber the performance of PET fiber is not good to enhance the mentioned properties, especially for compressive strength and modulus of rupture. Results showed that, in contrast to steel fiber, the performance of concrete with short and thick PET fiber is better. The existence of PET fiber in concrete has an influence on the crack bridging and changing the mode of failure of concrete to be less brittle. On the failed concrete surface, pull-out of PET fiber was not observed for concrete subjected to tension and flexure, and specimens were failed after large elongation of the plastic fiber. Analysis of global data was made to develop equations for calculating compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of rupture. Results of regression analysis indicate that these properties of concrete are dependent on the fiber index
