Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Waste as Partial Aggregate and Reinforcement in Reinforced Concrete: A Review

Plastic disposal is now a significantproblem for the sustainability of environment. And, viewing engineering properties plastics (e.g., lightweight, flexible, strong, moisture-resistant, and cheap) opens possibility using themas structural material. Over decade, many researchers have studied as replacement natural aggregates in concrete or an additive.Besides, past experimental results shown that adding plastic waste will alter concrete's mechanical durability properties. However,such can still fulfillengineering be used other structures with low strength requirements. This research intends to try possibilities partial aggregate reinforcementinreinforced concrete.Therefore, it proposed look into effects particles on environment their over time due its deterioration. It recommends surface treatment appropriate chemicals.
