Synthetic plastics are typically discarded, thus causing environmental pollution. Plastic wastes are recycled as fiber in concrete to solve this problem. In this study, synthetic fibers in a concrete matrix were investigated through compressive strength, splitting tensile, fracture energy, and flexu...
