Abstract

This paper reports "An Experimental Investigation on Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Plastic Waste in Rigid Pavement" in which the natural aggregate are partially replaced by the waste plastic (HDPE) in the Rigid pavement. The main objective of this project is to use the waste plastic into an efficient way in the construction of road pavement which leads to a green eco system. Permeable pavements help in improving the flow of water, ground water recharge and increase life time of pavement. By using the plastic as an aggregate in the concrete reduce the cost and weight of the pavement. All of the concrete mixture were tested at room temperature. The Fresh Concrete test include performing slump Cone Test, Compaction factor test and Flow Test. These harden concrete performing of compressive strength, flexural strengths and spilt tensile strength. Curing ages 7, 14, 28 days for the concrete mixture were applied in this work. This study insures that reusing and recycling of waste plastic as a natural aggregate substitution in concrete gives a good approach to reduce the cost of the materials and solve some of the solid waste problems posed by plastics.
