observation is made about the elastic modulus estimated from the experimental tensile stress- strain data: value of Er.HDPE ≈ 0.50 GPa and about half of the typical values of the elastic modulus of commercially available PP or the engineering grade HDPE plastics. Therefore, while the mechanical properties of HDPE are degraded by recycling process and the physical properties remain similar to those of the new HDPE, they overally remain lower than the typical engineering properties of new PP.

The details of the individual concrete mixtures, with designations from C1 (plain concrete) to C7, are given in Table 3 together with the lengths, L, and the aspect ratios, ra = L/Ø, of HDPE fibres.
