| Ringkasan: | Polyethylene Terephthalates (PET) is
one of the most plastic containers that are normally being
discarded by people, which resulted in environmental
pollution. One of the best ways to reduce the
environmental pollution is by recycling PET as a ringshaped
PET (RPET) fiber in concrete. Therefore, it is
appropriate to investigate the RPET fiber in term of
pullout strength of RPET fiber concrete. A rotal of 30
cubes for the fiber pullout test were made with three
embedded fiber length sizes, namely l5 mm, 20 mm,
and 25 mm. The RPET-10 fiber exhibited the highest
pullout load of 103.6% compared with RPET-5 fiber at
l5 mm embedded length. This finding shows a similar
pattern for 20 mm and 25 mnr ernbedded lengths
RPET-10 fiber obtained 77.2% and l3.7% increases in
pullout strength compared with RPET-S flber, at 20 to
25 mm embedded lengths. In conclusion. this result for
the pullout load strength is important as new inputs to
the technical properties of RPET FC- during pullout
load test. |
