RECYCLED PLASTIC USED IN CONCRETE PAVER BLOCK

Abstract

In this paper Recycled plastic aggregate used in various proportion in concrete mix and check there sutbility .Amount of waste plastic being accumulated in 21st centuries has created big challenges for their disposal, thus obliging the authorities to invest in felicitating the use of waste plastic coarse aggregate in a concrete is fundamental to the booming construction industry. Disposal of plastic waste in an environment is considered to be a big problem due to its very low biodegradability and presence in large quantities. In recent time use of such, Industrial wastes from plastic bottles, pallets, carry bags; polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene Terepthalate (PET) were studied as alternative replacements of a part of the conventional aggregates of concrete. If plastic wastes can be mixed with the concrete mass in some quantity or in some form, without affecting the fundamental and other properties or slight negotiation in strength the strength of concrete. Industrial wastes from polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene Terepthalate (PET) were studied as alternative replacements of a part of the conventional aggregates of concrete. Three replacement levels.10 %, 20 %, 30 by Weight of aggregates were used for the preparation of the concrete.
