Abstract
Waste fishing nets were utilized as recycled nylon (RN) short fiber to improve the mechanical properties of cement mortar. RN and manufactured polyethylene (PE) fibers were added to polymer cement mortar (PCM) as a reinforcement, and fiber-reinforced PCM was sprayed on the section of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Normal RC beams and the upgraded RC beams were placed in the tidal zone for 14 months to induce rebar corrosion. Consequently, a repair operation took place by the removal of the concrete cover then spraying fiber-reinforced PCM. The tested RC beams were subjected to four-point flexural tests to study their load-carrying capacity. It was found that the fibers helped transfer stresses through cracks and distribute stresses by transforming a single wide crack into many small cracks. Overall, the experimental results showed that recycled nylon fibers from waste fishing nets have great potential to be used as a strengthening fiber in cementitious material.
