Abstract:

The non-hazardous solid waste was resulting from construction and demolition activities is defined as Construction and Demolition debris(C & D). The generation of these wastes is impossible to prevent. Still, this waste generation can be adopted as an alternative material that can be controlled or reduced in construction sites. these waste materials can be utilized in various fields of Construction. In the present study, an investigation is carried out to find the feasibility of using waste generated from construction fields, such as demolished concrete, glass, plastic, etc.
This paper investigates the mechanical properties of concrete using the above construction waste such as glass, plastic and demolished concrete by partially replacing fine aggregates and coarse aggregate. All three waste in a single stretch for a sample. Samples of concrete specimens (Cubes, Cylinders and Prisms) were cast for M25 grade by partially replacing plastic and glass as fine aggregate from 0% to 20%, while demolished concrete as coarse aggregate from 0% to 20%. Several laboratory tests were carried out to evaluate these replacements on the properties of the normal concrete mixes. these tests include workability, compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength (splitting). Test results revealed that the three waste materials could be successfully reused as partial substitutes for sand or coarse aggregates in concrete mixes.

Keywords:
