Feasibility study of concrete by using polyethylene terephthalate fiber in enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete

In these project Polyethylene terephthalate fiber (PET) fibers are use to improve the mechanical property of concrete and minimize the environmental pollution of earth. PET is use to prepare container for water, cold drinks, food etc. which is single used and it thrown in to the sea, dump on free land and burning. It cause many serious effect on animals, sea animals, destroy land fertility and other health related issues. The PET material are used to improve mechanical property of concrete like compressive strength, dry and wet density and static and dynamic elastic modulus. Thus fibers are available in natural and artificial material. Now a days, artificial fibers are widely used in India. The types of fibers are plastic fibers, glass fibers, steel fibers etc. In India according to solid waste management data is 15,350 tons daily and 1,84,120 tons annually generate, but only 9,350 tons daily and 1,12,120 tons annually collected. So the uncollected data is that about 6000 tons daily and 72,000 tons annually uncollected, in such a way that it causes many problems to the atmosphere so that it becomes environmentally harmful. For developing country concrete is most important material. It is extensively used in construction industry. Concrete have many advantages like long service life, durability, chemical attack resistance etc. Thus concrete has some many disadvantage like low tensile strength, flexural strength and cracks. To overcome these disadvantage add some supplements in concrete to improve its strength. The fiber are one of them. It reduces environmental problem it becomes eco-friendly. In case of compressive strength test, wet density test and direct method of UPV result are obtain as concrete carry higher applied load also it give high compressive strength, high wet and dry density of concrete and quality of concrete is good when adding 0.4% of shape - 01 PET fiber in concrete.
