Recycling of Glass and Carbon Fibers from Wind Turbine Blades and Other Industries for Recycling Concrete Structures: Review
摘要
Recently, the end-life scenarios of Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) whether those imported from wind turbine blades or FRP bars are drawing great attention due to their restricted deposition and the possibility of recycling in concrete. There are several methods for shredding or separating the fibers from the resin to utilize the wastes in concrete. The paper studies the recent methods utilized for processing the FRP whether from wind blade turbines or FRP bars to be utilized in concrete whether in the form of aggregate replacement or cement. The studies also mentioned their influence in terms of mechanical properties such as compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths, in addition to the exposure to harsh environments throughout the durability testing of the produced concrete. The results showed that several factors influence the decision to utilize these materials in concrete at several percentiles and the most technique that could be used considering the economic concerns and sustainability impact.
