PLASTIC WASTE IN CONCRETE : A partial replacement of course and fine aggregate

Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The objective of the present study on use of plastic waste as a partial replacement of course & fine aggregate in concrete. A substantial growth in the consumption of plastic is observed all over the world in recent year, which has led to huge quantities of plastic related waste, recycling of plastic waste to produce new materials which can be used for concrete appears as one of the best solutions for disposing of waste due to its economic and ecological advantages, the properties of cement composites containing various type of plastic waste as aggregate filler. As 100% replacement of natural aggregate with plastic aggregate is not feasible partial replacement at various percentage. In this project use M25, M30, M35, M40 grade of concrete used in construction sites. The tests were performed at the age of 7, 28 and 91 day. Tests results indicated that inclusion of plastic waste coarse and fine aggregates in concrete it enhanced the compressive strength, Split tensile strength, flexural strength, acid attack and water absorption.…
