Strength characterization of novel concrete using plastic waste as additional material

An investigation is carried out to find the optimum usage of plastic waste in the cement motor of 1:3 mix and cement concrete of grade M30. PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) taken from switch plug. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) taken from electronic waste. PP (Polypropylene) taken from broken chairs are there different plastics used in this research. Plastic added as 2, 4, and 6% in both cement motor and cement concrete mix as an experiment. Specimen (70.7mm×0.7mm×70.7mm) used for cement motor. Compression strength Specimen (150×150×150mm) for compressive strength of concrete and Specimen size of 150×300mm for Split tensile strength are cast for testing harden concrete. Curing is down for 28 days. The compression strength test and split tensile strength test us down to the concrete and compression strength of cement is down to the cement motor. Cement mortar strength was increased to 2% to 3.6% by the replacement of plastic waste when compared with normal cement mortar. The compressive strength of conventional concrete increased to 1% for PVC waste.
