Abstract
The project aims to investigate the potential of using plastic aggregate in place of conventional aggregate as the objective of minimizing the harmful emissions to the atmosphere during the disposal. The rapid industrialization and urbanization in the country leads lot of infrastructure development. This process leads to several problems like shortage of construction materials, increased productivity of wastes and other products. This project deals with the reuse of waste plastic as complete replacement of coarse aggregate in CLSM (controlled low strength materials).Tests were conducted on coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, cement and waste plastics to determine their physical properties. The blocks are casted and tested for 7 days and 28 days strength. With various material ratios, the general characteristics of the CLSM mixture, including flowability characteristics, initial setting time and density were studied. To ascertain the engineering characteristics of controlled low strength material, such as compressive strength, Permeability, Dry shrinkage and Thermal conductivity, a number of combinations produced with binders and aggregates were carefully examined.
