It depends on the type of plastic you are using. Brittle plastic would shatter when concrete begins to dry. Hard plastic may not shatter but it will not stick perfectly to concrete. This is my perception. I may be wrong.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

are you referring to surface to surface interaction between plastic and concrete or bonding between plastic fibers in concrete ?Rajcivldoes plastic and concrete bonds together??Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

what i want is to replace plastic in case of steel and to bond plastic and concrete together. whether it can be made? is it effective to do??Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

you will not be getting the strength from plastic as needed the quality we get from steel.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

but incase of members which doesnot need highstrength and all can we use that plastic is that a cost effective one when compared to steel??Nayan Goenkayou will not be getting the strength from plastic as needed the quality we get from steel.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

you might have to conduct experiments to know the bonding properties between a plastic rebar and concrete. A pullout test is usually apt in this case.Rajcivlbut incase of members which doesnot need highstrength and all can we use that plastic is that a cost effective one when compared to steel??Are you sure?

You may make an item with plastic as a substitute. But think of durability. comparitively, if steel costs 50₹, it will last 100years whereas plastic will cost 2Rs but will last only 5 years. So total cost in long run is more. Even if your item doesn't need strength,it should be cost effective as well as feasible. To replace steel, you will have to get your plastic tailor-made.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

sir only one thing i cant understand is steel completely replaced by fiber there are fiber is just mixed with concrete?A.V.Ramani<a href="https://www.academia.edu/235052/Using_Fibers_in_the_Reinforcement_of_Concrete" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">(DOC) Using Fibers in the Reinforcement of Concrete | Sahar El Marsafy - Academia.edu</a>Are you sure?

In the paper referred, no steel has been used. Please refer to item 3.2. Techniques in the paper.Rajcivlsir only one thing i cant understand is steel completely replaced by fiber there are fiber is just mixed with concrete?Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
