Recycled nylon fibers as cement mortar reinforcement (2014, background): “It is worth noting that recent studies have shown that several waste materials can be profitably employed to manufacture low-cost reinforcement techniques of structural and non-structural materials in the construction industry [1]-[4].”
Experimental study of the thermo-mechanical properties of recycled PET fiber-reinforced concrete (2011, background): “[1] and therein references, which discuss the effects of recycled plastic reinforcement of concrete in terms of a large number of material properties, including density, air content, workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, impact resistance, permeability”
Green Concrete: By-Products Utilization and Advanced Approaches (2019, background): “The compressive strength of all concrete mixtures with plastic decreases as the plastic ratio increases [27,167,168,170,172,177,178].”
Effects of recycled PET fibres on the mechanical properties and seawater curing of Portland cement-based concretes (2014, methodology): “There is a general agreement in the literature about the beneficial effects of R-PET fibres on the first-crack strength and/or the fracture toughness of R-PET fibre-reinforced concretes (RPETFRCs) and mortars [1–9].”
