Characterization of Lightweight Concrete with Chopped Plastic Bottles
In the building industry, concrete is the most used construction materials due to its high performances and advantages related to costs, durability and security in service life. Considering the requirements related to the environment, the concrete has a high potential to be ecological (green concrete) because in its mix different types of waste can be incorporated without affecting its properties or, in some cases, special properties can be obtained. As green concrete the lightweight concrete obtained by using wastes in the mix is also studied in the last decades. The article presents the experimental results obtained on concrete prepared by using chopped PET as aggregate substitution, in dosages of 50%, 70% and 90% and fly ash used as addition to the cement. The density, compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength of concrete were experimentally determined. For comparison of mechanical characteristics, a control mix of concrete without chopped plastic waste was used. The influence of this kind of wastes on mechanical strengths is discussed.
