To Study and Analysis Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate With PET, PP, PE & Admixture in Concrete

Abstract: In recent time there is large amount of plastic waste produced in India. This plastic waste is also non- biodegradable. The amount of plastic waste increasing rapidly and hence to create human health and environmental problem. In this paper we are focusing the use of PP, PET, PE in percentage of 2% 4% 6% to partial replacement of fine aggregate. After using these materials, we performed all experiment like compressive strength test, flexural test, split tensile test, heat resistance test at (160℃) on concrete and also, we found that the 2% & 4% replacement gives reasonable results in all experimental test. We found that the use of 6% of the materials detour quality of concrete, it shows the lower results so to enhance the results we used admixture get the results which are further we compare with the previous one. After taking results we found that the material PET shows better compressive strength and behave same like normal concrete and also in heat resistance property. Remaining two material PP and PE (6%) replacement in concrete and added admixture we found that it improves compressive strength slightly as compared to normal concrete. After performing Split and Flexural test we found that PE & PET material gives better results in both test but polypropylene (PP) does not give desirable results.
