Abstract:

This paper reveals the impact behaviour, fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) containing Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibres. SCC is a highly flow able type of concrete that spreads in to the form without the need for mechanical vibration. Now a days self-compacting concrete is being widely used in construction over normal concrete due to its high workability, economy, less noise pollution, speedy construction etc. Recycling of waste materials is one of the most important problems in the future to be solved in all possible ways. PET fiber from waste plastic bottle were added to SCC with an aspect raitio of 28. The M35 grade of concrete mix with PET the volume of ( 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%) by cement will be added for this work. Experiments showed that inclusion of PET fibers in SCC results in an increase in Compressive, Split tensile, flexural strengths and shows the improvement of impact behaviour. This improvement in the behaviour of SCC under impact by inclusion of PET may lead to further application of this type of concrete in sustainable structures . The result revealed that the addition of PET fibers at 1.5% gives excellent flow and strength property in SCC.
