This paper presents test results on some physical and mechanical properties of concrete containing fiber from recycled carpet waste. Five concrete mixes namely plain concrete (PC) i.e. concrete without carpet fiber, as control and carpet fiber reinforced concrete (CFRC) mixes containing 0.5%, 1.0%,...
