amount and disposal of plastic waste is not eco-friendly as it is non-biodegradable. Usage of waste plastic aggregates in concrete helps in recycling and reuse of plastic and also as an alternative material for concreting. This experiment aims to produce a cost effective concrete and utilization of waste by partial replacement of coarse aggregate by plastic waste in 8%,16%,24% and 32% and cement by alccofine in 5%,10%,15%,20% and 25%. Experiments were conducted to determine strength and durability characteristics of concrete by destructive and non-destructive tests.
In this paper, cable pipe (HDPE) wastes are used as coarse aggregate for production of concrete. Plastic aggregate and alccofine is used to produce durable polymer concrete. 2 LITERATURE REVIEW
Key Words : High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Alccofine, Compressive strength.
Devinder Sharma, Sanja Sharma, Ajay Goyal (2016) carried out research by Utilizing Waste Foundry Slag and alccofine for Developing High Strength Concrete. Experimental study was conducted by replacing cement using alccofine and fine aggregates by foundry slag. By varying the percentage replacement level of foundry slag from 0 to 50%, water binder ratio as 0.239 and optimum dosage of alccofine, concrete specimens were casted and basic tests such as compressive strength, tensile strength (TS) and flexural strength (FS) were done and durability tests were carried out to find their properties. They suggested that high strength concrete can be produced by using foundry slag and alccofine as partial replacement for sand and cement. Result showed an increase in alkalinity and permeability properties of concrete by optimized replacement levels of Cement with Alccofine.
1. INTRODUCTION Research1concerningithe3use of waste-products to enhance the concrete properties has been conducting and occurring from several years. The potential applications of trade and industry waste materials in concrete square measure as an additive or substitute for aggregate and cement replacement, reckoning the chemical composition and grain size of the material. Utilizing these by-products or recycled materials in concrete comes from the environmental constraints for the safe disposal of these waste products. The application of plastic is growing rapidly. Quantities of plastic waste have been increasing day to day and recent studies have stated that it can remain unchanged for as long as 4500 years on earth.
Sampada Chavan , Pooja Rao (2016) carried out research on Utilization of Waste Polyethylene Bottle (PET) Fibre in Concrete. Their experimental work was incorporation of plastics such as PET wastes in concretes as a light weight aggregate. The reduction of unit weight of concrete is one of the goals of production of earthquake resistant structures. PET fibre reinforced concrete has experimentally been proven to perform better. PET fibre or synthetic fibre has unique qualities. Compared to the ordinary fibre and this has been proved in this research work. This work has been concluded that 20% of PET aggregate can be used as a replacement for coarse aggregate without any detrimental effects and increased strength.
Increment in construction activities has led to the inventions of new materials and methods and also utilizing the wastes as a substitute in concrete. Numerous experiments have been conducted using wastes such as rice husk, palm oil waste, plastic bottles and so on. In this paper a study is conducted using high density plastic and ultra fine particle alccofine. Quantities of3 plastic3wastes have been increasing day to day. This case causes serious issues like wastage of natural resources and pollution of environment. Due to its chemical and physical properties, it is difficult to decompose or degrade and has a longer life span resulting pollution of
