Analysis of Structures of Cementitious Composites with Recyclates and Dispersion Reinforcement of Polymer Fibres

Abstract:

The amount of produced construction and demolition waste grows constantly and the current utilisation won’t be sufficient in the future. Thus it is inevitable to support further utilisation of these materials and enquire after more possibilities of its use. A new sphere for utilisation of the recycled materials in cement based composites open polymeric fibres of high strengths. Their use in production of the composite material change the brittle structure to the ductile one that is able to resist tensile stressed after cracking. The article presents findings from a study and analysis of the results of an experimental programme focused on the production of fibre reinforced concrete in which natural aggregate has been substituted with masonry or concrete recyclate.
