Development of Stress-Strain Curves for the Conventional Cement Concrete Containing Aluminum Metalized Postconsumer Plastic Waste

Abstract

The demand of concrete is increasing day by day for satisfying the need of development of infrastructure facilities.
Safe disposal of plastic produced by postconsumer activities are the major problem in present scenario as these are nonbiodegradable. The experimental work shall be carried out on specimens prepared by M25 grad of concrete. The
experimental program shall include addition of macro sized fibers of metalized plastic film in different proportions like 0%,
0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%. To carry out stress-strain curve guidelines given in IS: 516-1959 shall be followed. For every test
thee specimens shall casted.
To determine slump test, compressive test, split tensile testand stress-strain curve test.and to check the feasibility of
utilization of metalized postconsumer plastic waste as the concrete constituent. It could be one of the ways of safe disposal of
hazardous plastic wastes.
