STUDY ON THE FINE AGGREGATE FOR REPLACEMENT OF PLASTIC WASTE MATERIALS

Concrete is a material which widely used in construction industries. The generation of plastic wastage is increasing day by day, causing serious problem to the environment. In this research, the solid plastic waste particles are used in the concrete by partial replacement of fine aggregate in concrete. The main purpose of this study to investigate the properties of concrete such as compressive, tensile as well as flexural strength in the partial replacement. The results indicate that the use of solid plastic waste particles in the concrete result the formations of light weight concrete. The disposal problem can be overcome by recovery, recycling and reuse. In order to have deep knowledge about the solid plastic waste. Plastic durable and degrade very slowly. In this project partial replacement of fine aggregate by solid plastic waste of about 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% for mix design of M40.The strength properties for this concrete mix at 7 days and 28 days have been tested.
