Abstract

To showcase the industrial application of the 100% recycled PP fibre produced in this research, the fibre performance was tested in various real-life applications which included concrete footpaths and precast concrete pits. This Chapter describes the complete process of using recycled PP fibre to replace steel mesh in a concrete footpath, showing the efficiency of using recycled PP fibre. The drying shrinkage cracks in this real application were also assessed. The feasibility of using recycled PP fibre to replace steel mesh in the precast concrete drainage pits was also studied.
