Abstract

The objective of this research is to determine the mechanical properties of the waste-plastic-banner-fiber reinforced concrete: compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, rupture modulus and modulus of elasticity. Concrete mixtures with different proportions of waste plastic banner fiber were produced and tested: 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% of waste plastic banner fiber. The tests showed that the addition of fiber by 0.5% from the total concrete volume will increase the splitting tensile strength by 14.28% and produce the modulus of elasticity as high as 23,025 MPa (up to 12% from the normal mix) and yield the concrete compressive strength of 35.56 MPa (up to 4.95% of the normal mixture). The rupture modulus will increase by 4.11% as the addition of 0.25% of waste plastic banner fiber.
