Physical, mechanical and thermal conductivity of concrete containing granulated recycled pet bottle

Concrete is the most extensively used material in the construction industry. Its high demand has threatened the environment and led to the depletion of natural resources such as sand, which is the basic material of concrete. Many strategies have been proposed to overcome these issues, such as...

The percentage of PET replacement that up to 10% had obtained the target strength of 30 MPa concrete grade, and acceptable value of thermal conductivity which performs same properties of normal concrete. However, the recommended percentage of PET aggregate was up to 5% due to its achievement as highest compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity which the values are 33.9 MPa, 3.20 MPa, 4.3 MPa and 21111 MPa, respectively. Based on the overall physical, mechanical and thermal performance, concrete with 5% PET replacement is appropriate to be used in concrete production.
