Abstract

The increasing generation of plastic waste and the growing demand for durable and sustainable construction materials have motivated researchers to explore alternative reinforcement materials in concrete. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), a widely used plastic in beverage bottles, poses serious environmental concerns due to its non-biodegradable nature. This project investigates the performance of concrete reinforced with recycled PET fibers and evaluates its structural behaviour using Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)–based crack detection techniques. Recycled PET fibres extracted from waste plastic bottles are incorporated into concrete at varying volume fractions. The mechanical properties, such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength, are experimentally evaluated. Furthermore, crack initiation and propagation in PET fiber-reinforced concrete are monitored using SHM techniques, including surface-mounted sensors and visual crack mapping
