Abstract:Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers are green, environmentally friendly materials. They mainly come from recycled plastic bottles and other products. The addition of PET fibers to recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has the potential to reduce concrete damage and increase specimen toughness. In this study, the influences of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement ratio and fiber volume ratio on the impact response of PET fiber reinforced RAC at various strain rates were experimentally investigated. It wa… Show more
