“…In other words, this suggested that incorporation of PE particles tended to limit failure of the cementitious fibers in the case of tensile stresses developed under bending loads. Similar propositions were presented in works reported by Benosman et al [40] and Yang et al [41], using either PE particles or plastic wastes.…”

“…The two directions that emerged in practice and research are utilisation of the raw plastic granulate as partial substitute for sand aggregate [1][2][3][4][5] whereby concrete is used as a medium for disposal of polymer waste (in the amounts that do not significantly affect its strength) and the other is the use of processed resins for production of polymer concrete [6,7]. However, knowing that concrete reinforced with commercially available steel or poly-propylene (PP) fibres is a more resilient building material than plain concrete [8,9], another promising option is recycling of plastic for production of fibres to be used as secondary reinforcement for concrete along the traditional steel rebars.…”

This work investigates potential engineering benefits of the pioneering application of simply extruded recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic fibres in structural concrete. Mechanical and serviceability properties of concrete are studied through the testing of seven series of specimens: one made of the plain concrete and, for each of the two fibre diameters Ø 1 = 0.25 mm and Ø 2 = 0.40 mm, three series with 0.40%, 0.75% and 1.25% volume fraction of fibres. While the compressive strength and the elastic modulus of concrete were unaffected, the tensile strength and flexural (rupture) modulus were marginally increased, between 3% and 14% in the presence of HDPE fibres. Fibres mainly contributed by providing the post-cracking flexural ductility and through improving serviceability properties of concrete such as the reduced plastic shrinkage cracking, drying shrinkage and water permeability. The durability of HDPE fibres was assessed by means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging that showed no signs of their chemical deterioration in concrete. All findings suggest that recycled HDPE fibres can be instrumental in creating a new value chain in construction industry while also positively contributing to its environmental performance.

“…Some of potential waste materials either from construction industry or from by product industry and there are commonly available in every country in all over the world. Those waste materials are abundant and causes environmental pollution such as roof tile [22], recycle aggregate [24,33,36], waste marble [11,17,36,42], RHA [25,35,38,41] and recycled plastic particle [40]. The performances of utilizing those materials are subjective to the purposed of the study and should be explored and established from time to time for the benefit of all parties.…”

Abstract. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) was first developed in late 80's in Japan. SCC is well known for its self-consolidation and able to occupy spaces in the formwork without vibration and become new interesting topic in Construction and Building Materials Research. The aim of this review is to summaries the previous research work related to utilization of waste minimization in SCC from 2009 to 2015 through available literature. It is important to expose new researchers on concept and fundamental theory developed by previous researchers as a reference and guidance in their research. There were a lot of opportunity to be explored in developing SCC especially in utilizing waste material as replacement materials or additives used and mix design method for rheological improvement in SCC. However, these review only focusing on waste materials that have significant to be taken care to reduce environmental impact such as waste product from construction industry and by product industry. As conclusion, this paper will provide significant idea and useful information to those new to SCC and fellow researchers for future studies in utilizing waste materials in SCC mix design.
