TL;DR: It was concluded that there is a potential for the use of shredded waste PET granules as aggregate in the production of structural lightweight concrete due to its low unit weight which results in a reduction in the death weight of a structural concrete member of a building.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of waste PET as lightweight aggregate (WPLA) replacement with conventional aggregate, on thermal conductivity, unit weight and compressive strength properties of concrete composite was investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS) and fly ash (FA) addition on the strength properties of lightweight mortars containing waste Poly-ethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottle aggregates was investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the utilization of waste PET aggregate in alkali-activated slag and slag/metakaolin blended mortar was investigated, and the results showed that using PET aggregate contributed to decrease of unit weight of alkaliactivated mortars due to the low density of PET aggregate.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of elevated temperature on the properties of concrete containing clinoptilolite was investigated by microscopic analyses, and it was observed from microscopic analyses that the aggregate compressive strength of concrete was less affected from elevated temperatures.
