Effect of Recycled PVC as a Partial Replacement of Fine and Coarse Aggregate on Some Concrete Properties
Keywords:
PVC concrete properties, PVC replacement ratio, Recycled PVC aggregate, PVC ConcreteAbstract
Plastic is the highest used material in the world. The main problem is after the use this material, where their accumulation poses environmental problems due to no biodegradable. Recently, researchers have concerned with the reuse of plastic waste materials in the construction. In this paper, an experimental study on the recycled PVC as a partial fine and coarse aggregate replacement in concrete. Used PVC pipes was grained to different sizes and added to concrete mix. Replacement ratio of 10, 20 and 30% as well as reference mixes have conducted. The resultant of concrete properties such as workability, compressive strength, and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity of the PVC concrete were discussed. In general, adding less than 10% of recycled PVC to concrete gives acceptable results of concrete properties. Increasing the percentage of PVC replacement in concrete by more than 10% is counterproductive as it reduces density, compressive strength, and durability. The lower mechanical strength of concrete may attribute to the weak of Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) between cement paste and PVC aggregates.
