Abstract: Recycling of plastic is one of the major issues in the today’s world .In this paper, study is carried on properties on concrete using poly ethylene terephthalate waste fibers (PET). PET fibers are replaced with fine aggregate by 10,15,20,25 and 30%. Concrete is tested for fresh and hardened properties. Slump test is conducted to find out the workability of concrete. To check the mechanical properties of concrete compressive strength, flexural strength tests are conducted on concrete specimens.
Keywords: Recycled plastic, PET fibers, Fresh properties, mechanical properties, self compacting concrete.
