Replacement of Melt Densified Light Weight Plastic Aggregate With Natural Aggregate
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 0
Abstract
Disposal of plastic waste in an environment is considered an important issue due to its very low biodegradability and presence in large quantities. Hence, recycled plastic is a major solution. Present investigation melt-densified material used as light weight coarse aggregate in concrete. Melt-Densified Aggregates (MDA) was prepared from post-consumer recycled plastic bags by melting. A comparative study was done with conventional specimens. Melt-Densified Aggregates can be used for partial replacement of aggregates in a concrete mixture. The unit weight of the concrete mix was reduced contributing to light weight structures and ecological sustainability. As much as 60 % of both industrial and urban plastic waste is recycled which obtained from various sources. Hence, MDA solves the 3-fold problem of pollution, light weight structure and economy.
