Abstract
Virgin waste plastic mixture Research has been done on the characteristics of new concrete as well as hardened concrete. Various concrete mixtures employed varying percentages of waste plastic flakes to partially replace sand. Concrete constructed from waste plastic was tested at room temperature both with and without superplasticizer. Numerous cube samples were formed in order to evaluate the compressive strength of three specimens. Beams were also cast to evaluate the flexural strength properties of waste plastic. Superplasticizer can be used to increase the small amount of sand that the waste plastic has replaced. Plastics were miraculously created by man and have since become an indispensable part of the typical person's daily existence. The question of how to get rid of the various plastics that are currently found in nature has always caused man great anxiety. PET, also known as polyethylene terephthalate, is a polymer that is frequently used to make plastic bottles, which are then used to package a variety of drinks. Research studies have conclusively shown that PET waste may enhance a number of concrete qualities, making this a much better alternative to landfill disposal. The utilization of these materials can be improved by modifying the fibers shape and bonding properties, according to studies on PET fibers. The primary objective of the current study is to review the use of concrete fibers in various shapes and aspect ratios (length to width ratio). Key Wards: Plastics and Landfill, PET, Aspect Ratios
