Abstract

This work aims to investigate the mechanical behavior of concrete with recycled bottles made of Polyethene Terephthalate (PET). In this paper, influences of 10%, 15% and 20% substitution of concrete with particles PET produced by grinding by volume have been considered. For this purpose, prism and cylindrical specimens with different contents of PET flakes to replace concrete by volume were manufactured and the workability of fresh concrete was evaluated. Results showed higher volume proportion of PET lead to lower workability of fresh concrete, with the content of PET flakes replacing concrete from 10% to 15%, the slump flow reduced by 7% and 36% respectively. Concrete with PET particles indicated a decreasing trend in compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity with respect to conventional concrete. Specifically, when replacing concrete by 10%, 15%, and 20% of PET flakes, the compressive strength values decreased by 35%, 41%, and 51%; the flexural tensile strength is reduced by 9.2%, 16.45%, and 19.8%; and the modulus of elasticity is reduced by 18.38%, 20.32%, and 26.12% respectively. On the other hand, unit weight test demonstrated concrete containing PET particles is lighter than conventional concrete.
