The New trends of construction methods sometimes cause harmful effects
on environment though they are effective to mankind. Reuse of waste materials
acts eco friendly also prevents exploitation of resources. Usage of such
materials for construction purpose enhances the traditional methods of
construction. In this paper presents an experimental investigation on the
effect of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) on various strength properties. The
strength properties of M40 grade concrete are studied with 0%, 10% and 20% of
PET. There is decrease in strength when the ratio of PET to fine aggregate was
increased. So that the PET percentage is taken as constant, the Carbon Black as
a partial replaced by cement with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%. The strength
properties were again studied and its results are compared to conventional
concrete. - See more at:
