Abstract

This research describes an experimental investigation that assesses the impact of polymer fiber and artificial fine aggregate on concrete properties. Polymer fiber, on the other hand, has the potential to function as a superplasticizer additive, which might lead to concrete’s superior elasticity, higher strength, and reduced rate of water absorption. Thus, an experimental inquiry was conducted to ascertain the ideal admixture dose and investigate the consequences of admixture overdosage. Also, this study highlights the potential for recycling in the construction industry by examining the physical properties of fine aggregate made from dismantled building components. This study’s main goals are to evaluate the quality and suitability of artificial fine aggregate made from demolished building materials for use in construction applications, to ascertain whether the fine aggregate’s physical properties meet the requirements for producing concrete, and to assess the sustainability and potential environmental benefits of using recycled fine aggregate. Thus, it was found in this study that adding polymer and artificial fine aggregate throughout the polymer concrete-forming process alters the concrete’s properties, increasing the concrete’s compressive strength. Aside from this, it has been discovered that polymers have enhanced the mechanical qualities of concrete, such as their flexural, and compressive strengths.

Keywords: Fine aggregates, polymer fiber, construction demolition waste, dismantled building components.
