STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF REPLACEMENT OF FINE AGGREGATE WITH PLASTIC GRANULES ALONG WITH STEEL AND POLYPROPYLENE FIBERS
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovative Research in Advanced Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Concrete is an ancient material of construction, first used during Roman Empire. Concrete is the second most consumed substance in the world after water. Plastic is a common material which finds its application in day today life. Lack of proper disposal methods for plastic waste is one of the main hazards faced by present the world. Plastic is of manmade material and is a stable polymer which is light in weight. The reduction of waste plastic is essential as it creates various environmental problems. This paper deals with the partial replacement of fine aggregate with plastic granules and using a fixed proportion of steel and polypropylene fibers. Experimental program includes two stages. In the first stage fine aggregate is replaced with 4%,8%,12% plastic granules in an M30 grade of concrete and its percentage was optimized and in the second stage, the residual strength of the above mixes were found out by heating the specimens to2000c,3000c and 4000c for one hour duration. Strength parameters studied includes compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, residual strength.
