| Abstract |
The application of textile waste as an aggregate in concrete enhances sustainability in construction and promotes circular economy. This work develops a novel fibre-based concrete incorporating textile waste fibres. The experiments showed that including textile waste fibres reduces flowability of concrete and improves its tensile and compressive strengths, alongside strain resistance. The fibres enhance concrete's ductility and resilience against environmental damage. Textile waste fibre exhibits a lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to other non- polymer fibres. This work emphasises the benefits of textile waste in enhancing construction sustainability and highlights the need for expanded exploration. |
