Experimental Investigation on The Partial Replacement of Sand with Plastic in Concrete
Authors(2) :-G. Dhana Lakshmi, S. Arivalagan
An Experimental study have been devoted to investigating the” PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF SAND WITH PLASTIC IN CONCRETE”. One of the main environmental problems today is the disposal of the waste plastics. On the other side, the Indian Construction Industry is facing problems due to insufficient and unavailability of sand. To find a solution for this problem, one of them can be used to solve the other problem. So, an attempt has been made to use Shredded Waste Plastic. The use of plastics in various places as packing materials such as bottles, polythene sheets, containers, packing strips etc., are increasing day by day. To circumvent this pollution crisis, from many products being produced from reusable waste plastics. So, we need to search for new construction materials as waste plastics in concrete and studies have been conducted to focus particularly on the behavior of compression members with various proportions of plastic wastes. The shredded waste plastic wastes were mixed with cement concrete in various proportions and test specimens were cast (Cubes, Cylinders and Beams) to study the behavior of plastic mixed concrete in axial compression, Split Tensile Strength and Flexural Strength. Five replacement levels 5%,10%,15%,20%, and 25% by volume of aggregates were used for the preparation of the concrete.
