Concrete with PET Fibers, environment, recycled, compressive strength, flexural strength.Abstract
Currently, the socio-environmental impact caused by the impulsive generation of organic and inorganic waste with no proper final destination is alarming today. Therefore, the use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers in construction proposes to be more technical, this article aimed to review the literature of 50 scientific articles from various journals, and analyze the different effects on the properties of concrete due to the incorporation of PET aggregates. The methodology corresponds to the search, selection and analysis of different studies. The literary review allowed to observe better results with respect to the flexural performance after cracking and its ductility that are improved due to the use of PET fiber. On the other hand, the values of resistance to axial compression and to diametral compression traction of the compound are decreased when a higher percentage of PET fibers is incorporated. PET fibers become a great ally in reducing cracks, deflection of structural elements, resistance to abrasion of concrete; it increased with the increase of PET waste as a replacement, of coarse aggregate; in the abrasive wear resistance test it decreased by 0.42 mm to 0.23 mm. It is shown that PET fibers are a sustainable alternative as an aggregate, giving benefits in the different properties of concrete, but should not incorporate an amount greater than 5 % of the total volume since there would be no benefit to the hardened mixture.
