Mechanical properties of recycled PET fibers in concrete

Mechanical properties of recycled PET fibers in concrete

Fiber-reinforced concrete represents the current tendency to apply more efficient crack-resistant concrete. For instance, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a polyester polymer obtained from recyclable bottles; it has been widely used to produce fibers to obtain cement-based products with improved...
