Mechanical Properties of Concrete Containing Plastic Fiber
India is globally ranked 11th as a generator of plastic waste. According to CPCB, India produces about 3.3 million metric tons of plastic every year out of which only 9% is being recycled. In this paper, waste plastic sheets (LDPE) are shredded to form plastic fiber (PF). These PFs are added to concrete with a varying volume percentage of 0–10, concerning the total volume of the aggregates. A total of 40 samples are prepared to have 150 × 150 × 150 mm dimensions and varying percentage volume of PF as 0, 2, 5, 7, and 10. Other than these 20 samples are prepared for flexural strength test beam with 450 mm length and 150 mm, width and height. The mix design prepared is for M25 grade concrete. Different tests are done on the samples for strength and water absorption. The results from various tests conclude that the samples with PF exhibit higher flexural strength and a higher water absorption rate as compared to the conventional concrete samples. A decrease in compressive strength is observed due to the increased void ratio of concrete. The flexural strength of plastic concrete is much better because the PF act as a reinforcing material to the plastic concrete. The higher absorption rate of the cubes is due to the greater void formation in the samples allowing the water to penetrate easily in the test cubes. This PF concrete can be used in low-loading structures like partition walls, walkways, parking lots, etc.
