Reviewing the Effect of Waste PET Strips as Fiber Reinforcement in Concrete
Abstract: Polyethylene Terephthalate also known as PET is the most commonly and widely used petroleum polymer plastic in the packaging industry. It is a well-established fact that the non-biodegradability of all plastics is a hazard to the environment. Thus, effective management of this waste is necessary. Numerous researchers have carried out studies and attempts to incorporate this plastic waste into concrete for performance enhancement. Considering the possible utilization of this waste …

Study on Fiber Reinforced Composite Material Cost in Construction Project
Abstract: The primary goal of this research paper is to identify the major causes of fibre reinforced composite material cost overruns in Indian construction projects, as well as the critical success factors that aid in the avoidance of such costs. The critical success factors is reviewed by existing literature. They are used to generate survey and interview questions. The fiber reinforced materials projects using proposed hypothesis and lack of certain critical …

Effect of Steel Fibre on the Flexural Strength of Self- Compacting Concrete
Abstract: With the increase in demand in the construction industry Self-Compacting Concrete is becoming more popular due to its versatile nature of improved efficiency. But the SCC possesses some properties which makes it brittle under tensile forces. The behavior of SCC as a structural material can be improved with the addition of Steel Fibres in adequate amount. In fact, the fibre reinforcement mechanism can convert the brittle behavior of concrete into …

Parametric Study of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete with Partial Cement Substitution Using Fly Ash and Rice Husk Ash
Abstract: This research aims to evaluate the impact of incorporating steel fibers [SF] and partially substituting cement with rice husk ash [RHA] and fly ash [FA] on the properties of concrete. SF were added in different volume fractions [0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1.0%], combined with 10% RHA and 20% FA. Initially, the concrete mix contained 30% FA with no RHA, which was then adjusted to a mix of 15% FA …
