Impact of plastic waste fiber and treated construction demolition waste on the durability and sustainability of concrete by Selvakumar Duraiswamy, Prakhash Neelamegam, M. VishnuPriyan, George Uwadiegwu Alaneme

“…The results demonstrate a significant enhancement in strength properties with the addition of 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% plastic-fibres, alongside the complete replacement of coarse aggregate with CDW, particularly noticeable at both 7 and 28-day curing ages. Although higher fiber dosages led to a slight reduction in compressive by 7% at the optimum percentage of 0.25% of PE and 0.5% of PET, the flexural strengths and split tensile strength exhibited a proportional increase of 11.7% and 18%. …”
