Abstract
The wastes from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging can be turned into armatures for concrete used in the transports infrastructure (roads with rigid concrete structure, pedestrian and concrete pavements and borders), as well as in the construction of safety elements (support walls, bulwark foundations). This experimental research was meant to create dispersed reinforced concrete with armatures from polyethylene waste, originated from the recycling programmes of PET-type packaging. The experimental programme was aimed at constructing some samples of dispersed reinforced concrete from recycled material coming from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging wastes, their testing to the compressive strength and the comparison of results with the characteristics of the standardised samples of concrete (class C30/37). All the reinforcements used in this work to consolidate the dispersed reinforced concrete type were made from a mix of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packages, of different types and characteristics, which are found daily in supermarkets and which then reach waste. The choice of a mix of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging was chosen in order to render the general recycling of these types of materials as good as possible.
