“…They usually consist of a cement-based matrix and different types of short fibres: glass [6], polypropylene [7], carbon [8], and steel [9], Fig The motivation to study concrete composites comes from the demand for using them in load-bearing structures to reduce the construction time and improve quality of structures. The addition of fibres may help to decrease brittle failure characteristics of concrete.…”

“…The reduce of strength for 12% resin content samples were higher than the strength decrease observed for 10% resin content specimens, indicating that textile fibers cause a strength reduction. When compared to textile reinforced ordinary cement concrete 6,16 , polymer concrete specimens strengths were more affected by textile fibers. A reduce of 34 6 and 22% 16 in compression was observed in ordinary cement concrete.…”

Effect of textile waste on the mechanical properties of polymer concrete

The mechanical behavior of polymer concrete reinforced with textile trimming waste was investigated. Two series of polymer concrete formulations were studied, with different resin/sand (i.e. binder/fine aggregate) weight ratios. In each series, recycled textile chopped fibers at 1 and 2% of the total weight was used. Flexural and compressive tests were performed at room temperature and load vs. displacement curves were plotted up to failure. In the study, both the influence of fiber content and resin/sand weight ratio were considered relative to the behavior of polymer concrete reinforced with textile fibers. A decrease in properties was observed as function of textile fibers content. When specific properties were considered, this tendency was kept. However, higher textile fibers content lead to a smoother failure, unlike brittleness failure behavior of unreinforced polymer concrete.

“…Recycled fibers from used carpet and tires have been used for concrete reinforcement for enhanced shrinkage and toughness properties [70][71][72][73]. Carpet fibers are also used for soil reinforcement to improve the strength and stability of soil [72,74,75].…”

Due to the growth in world population and overall improvement of living standard, global fiber consumption has been steadily increasing in the past few decades, which leads to a higher amount of post industrial and post consumer fiber waste. This paper provides an overview on fiber and textile recycling, focusing on the case of carpets, which account for a large part of textile waste. It includes a general description of fibrous waste, statistics, material characteristics (compositions) and sources. It also offers a summary on some selected recycling technologies and products from the recycling processes. Observations on future trend and needs for further development are also discussed.
