Abstract

Plastic waste has been significantly increasing globally. Manufacturing procedures, service sectors, and municipal solid waste all produce a lot of waste plastic items. Concern over the environment and how to dispose of the generated waste has increased due to the rise in plastic waste. Additionally, the use of PET in concrete manufacturing should minimize concerns with plastic waste management and carbon dioxide emissions re-cycling plastic waste, thus replacing the need to dispose of it in a landfill, which has a limited capacity. One alternative is to develop "green concrete" by using plastic waste as a recycled ingredient in concrete buildings. However, before any structure is constructed out of concrete that contains plastic, it is important to know how the use of PET in concrete affects the concrete properties and structural behavior. Especially the shear strength of concrete beams, which is one of the fundamental problems in civil engineering. Therefore, this study serves as an overview of experiments that substituted polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for concrete as a volume ratio additive. It provides information on the mix design and behavior of concrete when PET is utilized
