Improvement of Asphaltic Concrete by Using Waste Polyethylen Terephthalate (PET)

Waste Polyethylene Terephthalate as an Aggregate in Concrete

This paper reports the strength behaviour of concrete containing three types of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) aggregate. Results are also analysed to determine the PET-aggregate’s effect on the relationship between the flexural and splitting tensile strengths and compressive strength and to know whether the relationships between compressive strength and other strength characteristic...

Evaluation of the Cohesiometer Test for Asphaltic Concrete

Regression Models to Evaluate Compressive Strength of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Fibre Reinforced Recycle Aggregate Concrete

-This paper presents the compressive strength of PET fibre reinforced recycles aggregate concrete. The Natural Aggregate (NC) was replaced by recycle aggregate (RA) in the proportion of 25, 50, 75 and 100%. PET fibres were added to the Recycle Aggregate Concrete (RAC) by 1 and 2% volume. Total 45 cubes were cast and tested. The results showed that as the % of RA and volume fraction of PET fibre...

Investigating the Performance Characteristics of Asphaltic Concrete Containing Nano-Silica

Using nano-technology materials in the asphalt pavement industry is new compared with Portland cement concrete. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of nano-silica modification on some properties of a penetration grade asphalt cement and a typical asphalt concrete. 60/70 penetration grade bitumen was modified with different percentages of nano-silica (i.e. 1, 3 and 5%,...

Kinetic of Disperse Dye on Compounded PET Polyethylene Terephthalate Using Hyperbranched Polymeric Additive as A Nanomaterial

This paper presents the influence of Hybrane H 1500 as a hyperbranched polymer on kinetic parameters of dyeing compounded fiber grade PET polyethylene terephthalate at boil temperature. C.I. Disperse Red 324 as a disperse dye was used for dyeing compounded fiber grade PET. The result was compared with corresponding properties of virgin PET. The dyeing rate constants and diffusion coefficients a...
