Development of Cementless Recycled Concrete Aggregates Paver Blocks Using Molten Plastic Waste as Binder

Amount of demolished concrete waste and plastic waste being accumulated in twenty-first centuries have been created big challenges for their disposal. At present, nearly 530 million of tons debris is generated in the country annually. Due to our society has become dependent on usage of plastic packaging, approximately 5.6 million ton of plastic products are consumed per annum. The degradation rate of waste is also a very slow process. Using recycled concrete aggregates and waste plastic in development of paver blocks is an interesting possibility for economy on wastage disposals. The objective of the research is to study the characteristics of developed paver block. This paper presents a recent study on properties of paver block prepared by recycled concrete aggregates by using molten plastic waste as binder. For the laboratory samples, the compressive strength, split tensile strength, abrasion resistance, water absorption and heat resistance parameters were measured.
