Keywords: Light concrete, PET plastic waste, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, compressive strength. I.INTRODUCTION The use of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) for food or beverage packing is already familiar in public. After the contents are consumed, th

In this paper, the modulus of elasticity of lightweight concrete contains polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as fine, coarse aggregate and fiber was estimated by using experimental data from different literatures.

About 1.3 billion tons of waste is being generated in the world annually. This waste is a cause of various diseases. Open dumping of waste also destroys valuable agricultural land. Various researchers have beneficially used plastic waste in cement concret
