Effect of Addition of Polymer on the Properties of Waste Plastic Fibre Reinforced Concrete-An Experimental Investigation
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Recycling technology or reusing technology is not a new technology. Since civilization, man, in one form or the other, is recycling some of the materials for his convenience. Today, the recycling technology is gaining importance because of the reasons of growing quantity of wastes and to save natural resources. As the population is growing, the quantity of waste on this earth is also growing. The greedy nature of man has doubled the quantity of wastes. These wastes are causing an endangering pollution of the environment pollution of their environment. Some of wastes are polluting the environment instantaneously after their release and some of the wastes are polluting the environment slowly. Waste plastic is one of the major environmental pollutants. Plastic is a non bio-degradable material or it is a non-perishable material. It cannot be destroyed easily. Any efforts of destroying it again results in environmental pollution. The main objective of this paper is to throw some light on the effective use of waste plastics in concrete. The effect of addition of waste plastics in the form of fibres into the concrete along with some polymer has been studied in this paper. The strength characteristics of waste plastic fibre reinforced concrete with different percentages of polymer have been found experimentally.
