A Research onto Study the Properties of Concrete with Partial Replacement of Aggregates by Plastic Aggregates

Plastic waste management is the main environmental issues in our country. The present study applies to the usage of recycled plastics as an alternative for aggregates in concrete. The motive of the study is to investigate the alteration in the physical qualities of concrete by the use of waste of plastics in concrete. The utilization of plastic aggregates was discovered to lead to the development of sturdy concrete. Additionally, with the plastics, the tensile and compressive strength of the concrete reduces. The foremost change brought approximately by using plastics is the fact that concrete's thermal conductivity is decreased due to the utilization of plastics. It is able to thus be declared recycled plastics are usually utilized for thermal insulation of structures.Series of experiments had been performed in this current study for a comparison of the usage of Used Plastic as a replacement of sand in various different proportions. The main conclusions drawn was that the compressive strength increases with the inclusion of Used Plastic upto a certain proportions and then reduces the strength.
