Macro　recycled　plastic　fibre　offers　significant　environmental　benefits　over　virgin　plastic　fibre　and　steel　reinforcement.　However,　as　there　is　limited　research　on　performance　of　recycled　plastic　fibre　in　concrete,　it　has　not　yet　been　widely　adopted　by　the　construction　industries.　In　this　research,　post-cracking　performance　of　different　kinds　of　recycled　polypropylene　fibres　from　industrial　waste　was　studied　and　compared　with　that　of　virgin　polypropylene　fibre　in　concrete.　The　diamond-indent　recycled　fibres　showed　a　good　balance　of　tensile　strength,　Young＇s　modulus　and　concrete　bonding,　thus　producing　brilliant　post-cracking　performance.　This　research　proved　the　feasibility　of　using　recycled　fibres　as　reinforcement　in　concrete　footpaths.　(C)　2015　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
