Mechanical Behavior Analysis of Lightweight Concrete Reinforced by Metalized Plastic Waste Fibers

Abstract:

This study evaluates the impact of adding metalized plastic waste (MPW) fibers to lightweight concrete that is used as a filler material in building slopes and bridge ramps. The goal is to open up new opportunities for recycling plastic waste and promote a more sustainable and productive construction industry. This study examined the mechanical behavior of lightweight concrete (LC) at 3, 28, and 90 days, both with and without MPW fiber (1%, 2%, and 3%). Compression tests, 3-point bending tests, and pull-out tests were used to measure the fibers' compressive strength, flexural strength, and maximum load-bearing capacity, respectively. According to the results, the compressive strength (CS) and elasticity modulus (MOE) decreased with increasing fiber content when MPW fiber was added. In the long term, the CS and MOE decrease for the LC containing 3% MPW fiber was 8% and 7%, respectively, lower than for the control concrete. At 90 days, the flexural strength of the LC with 1% MPW fiber was marginally higher than that of the control concrete, rising by 2.40%. After this initial rise, however, the flexural strength declined as the fiber concentration increased, eventually reaching an 8% reduction for LC with 3% MPW fiber.The optimum method for determining maximal load-bearing and comprehending the deformation mechanism is hence the fiber pull-out test. The microstructure study of the LC examined how the pull-out test affected the quality of bonding at fiber-matrix interfaces. The tensile and flexural strength of lightweight concrete are enhanced by MPW fiber's ability to bear significant pulling stress.
