Author: Title: Institution: Degree: Y ear: Roody Numa ABSTRACT Strength and Toughness of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Fiber Reinforced Recycled Aggregate Concrete as a Sustainable Construction Material Florida Atlantic University Master of Science 2011 An experimental study was conducted on the strength and toughness characteristics of concrete made from recycled aggregate, cement and fly ash reinforced with reclaimed high density polyethylene plastic (HDPE) fibers. The objectives of the investigation were: (1) to evaluate the performance of a sustainable concrete containing up to 90% recycled materials; (2) to determine the variation of strength and toughness with a Fiber Factor incorporating length, width and amount of HDPE fibers; (3) to identify the best performing mix design based on tensile strength and toughness and (4) to provide some guidelines for the use of this sustainable composite in Civil Engineering construction. The results showed that the HDPE fiber reinforcements did not improve the compressive strength of the mixture. However, HDPE fibers improved the ductility and toughness which may be beneficial for structural and pavement applications. ivPDF Image | HDPE FIBER REINFORCED RECYCLED AGGREGATE CONCRETE
