Paper Details

The concrete is the most significant material which is almost used in every form of civil engineering construction.The efficiency of the concrete at the construction level is mainly enhanced by some of its properties such as good compressivestrength, durability, specific gravity etc. but at same time as every material or system possess some limitations so doesconcrete which namely comprise of brittleness, low tensile strength, low impact strength, heavy weight etc.Since it possessgreater number of advantages, therefore it become mandatory to add a suitable material which in turn can enhance itsmechanical properties. Management and disposal of waste at proper designated places is one of the major challenges, as aresult of which there is considerable implications on the environment, and economy and social issues.Thus waste utilizationin civil engineering construction is considered as appropriate and attractive alternative for disposal and shieldingenvironmental degradation. The paper provides a comprehensive summary of experimental approaches used by variousauthors to add PET shredders as replacement of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and also are used as fibers in concrete inorder to enhance the mechanical properties of concrete which not only are eco-friendly but at the same time approach istechno-economical for the commercial use.
