PLASTIC WASTE IN CONCRETE –A Study Report

civil engineering

The utilization of industrial waste in a useful manner is a major challenge in this current situation, because of the pollution there is a great harm to the nature and common life. For this purpose the very harmful and non-degradable material waste, Plastic is chosen, in order to minimize the stack piling of plastics in the environment and to control the pollution on earth. Hence it needs an immediate remedy and according to the past studies made on the use of plastic waste plastic in concrete tell us that the usage of waste material in structural elements is a challenging activity in the construction industry. Now a day in the construction industries, the availability of coarse aggregate (gravel) is a major problem. Thus for minimizing the usage of gravel in the making of concrete, many alternative investigations are carried out.In this paper studied various literature about the replacement of plastic wastes in concrete, based on this study concluded plastic attains high compressive strength up to 20% replacement.
