An Experimental Study on Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Plastic Scrap and Sand with Foundry Sand in Concrete

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world it is a mixture of cement, sand, coarse aggregate and water. Storage and safe disposal of industrial byproduct such as Waste foundry sand is major disposable item of metal casting industries and plastic bottle is a huge problem everywhere, reuse of these waste eliminates reduce the problem. Plastic bottles are a major issue of solid waste disposal. Several things which were invented for our convenient life are responsible for polluting environment due to improper waste management technique. One of them is plastic which has to be disposed or recycled properly to maintain the beauty of our nature. Polyethylene Terephthalate PET, PETE or polyester are routinely used for carbonated beverage and water bottles. This is an environmental issue as waste plastic bottles are difficult to biodegrade and involve processes either to recycle or reuse. In the Modern world, the construction industry is searching for cost effective materials for enhancing the strength of concrete structures. In this experiment fine aggregate is replaced 0 , 10 , 20 and 30 of its weight by foundry sand and course aggregate is replaced 0 and 5 of its weight by Plastic bottles in all concrete mix and there effects are studied.
