This study aims to analyze the influence of the incorporation of crushed polyethylene terephthalate as a substitute for fine aggregate in percentages of 10%, 15%, and 20% for the elaboration of concrete blocks. The methodology used is experimental quantitative approach, where the influence of the addition of crushed polyethylene terephthalate as a substitute for fine aggregate for the elaboration of concrete blocks was analyzed to identify the variation in the physical and mechanical properties of samples elaborated under different substitutions and in this way compare with the Colombian standard procedures. The results found in this study indicated that the blocks with the different percentages of polyethylene terephthalate presented a good resistance compared to the block without polyethylene terephthalate, which presented a resistance of 8 MPa. The blocks with polyethylene terephthalate at 10%, 15%, and 20% presented an average resistance of 6.36 MPa, 3.58 MPa, and 4.63 MPa, respectively. Finally, it was analyzed that the blocks with 10% aggregate are waterproof with normal density. In comparison, the blocks with 15% and 20% polyethylene terephthalate have high permeability, with the ability to drain 1 liter of water in 105 s and 38 s, respectively.
