Study on Flexural Behaviour of Concrete by Partially Replacing Fine Aggregate with E-Plastic Waste

Abstract

In this experimental work, the behavior of E-plastic waste (Bakelite) in concrete as partial replacement of fine aggregate was investigated regarding Mechanical and Flexural strength. Totally 6numbers of beam specimens and 54numbers of cube specimens were casted with partial replacement of fine aggregate. The size of plastic used in the concrete mixtures was less than 4.75 mm. The E-plastic waste was used to replace fine aggregate and the percentage of replacement carried out in this work is 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% by weight of total aggregate. The flexural behavior, deflection characteristics, and crack patterns of reinforced E-plastic waste concrete beams were calculated.
