Experimental Investigation On The Effect Of Adding Waste Polyester Textile On Concrete Properties

Abstract

construction material made with new innovation ideas and concept are solving environmental problems.So when we study about any work then study about recycle and reuse is necessary.The reuse of waste materials can contribute to improve the strength of materials. Concrete is multipurpose and popular construction material in the world, it is relatively brittle and weak in tension ,This days different waste materials are used in concrete in order to reduce environmental problem and improve concrete property. So an attempt has been made to achieve improved strength results using waste polystertextile. Polyester textiles are non-degradable, affects the environment from it’s production up to it’s disposal and is available in abundance. Presentstudies has been undertaken to investigate the effect of waste polyster textile on concrete on the basis of workability, compressive strength, flexural strength and tensile strength. Experiment were conducted on physical property of concrete and compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength for mechanical property of C-25concret.during investigation four proportions 0%, 1%, 2 %, and 3 % by weight of cementwere used.Based on the results of this study, the optimum amount of waste polyester textile to produce concrete was 1% by cement weight. Using 1% polyester textile increase flexural strength and split tensile strength,it shows a decrese in compressive strengthand workability.
