Abstract
The reinforcement of fibers into the concrete is gaining more popularity due to its application of waste as a fiber. Out of several industrial waste products such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles can be used for the production of fiber-reinforced concrete. This study investigates the effect of PET and jute fibers on concrete through a compressive strength test. The PET bottle-reinforced concrete shows better compressive results in a short duration of curing time (7 days) compared with both the jute fiber-reinforced concrete and concrete without reinforcement.
