The aim of the present study is to review comprehensively the utilization of plastic waste as a construction material. This paper analyses different research approaches that employ plastic waste as binder, aggregate, fine aggregate, modifier or substitute of cement and sand in the manufacturing of bricks, tiles and concrete.
The recycled waste glass was proportioned in levels of 25%, 50%, 75% and by weight to substitute sand in the concrete using a mix ratio of 1:2:4 (cement:sand:gravel) at a W/C ratio of 0.5 ...
Abstract. From a circular economy perspective, the recovery and reuse of waste plays a fundamental role. Foundries purchase hundreds of millions of siliceous …
The proposed sand bricks which is made up by adding plastic waste in crush form in sand bricks may help to reuse the plastic waste as one of the additives material of bricks, and to help the ...
This paper aims to review and investigate the feasibility of utilizing plastic waste in making construction bricks. The use of plastic waste in making the sand-plastic bricks will enhance the protection of the environment from the effects of plastic waste that normally takes several millennials to degrade. Thermostatic plastic waste; that is ...
All those and others side effects of plastic waste, make the plastic sand glass bricks an attractive alternative material to construction. In this paper, the plastic and glass waste were used at ...
The goal is to keep contaminated foundry waste sand out of landfills, which will have a lessened capacity in the upcoming years, as well as to develop and enhance the acceptance of this usually beneficial cleansed and using reclaimed soil for upcoming geo-engineering projects. (Mynuddin et al., 2018). Disposal of WFS adversely affects the ...
Recently, research on innovative approaches to and practices for plastic waste management in a circular economy has gained momentum. Plastic waste pollution poses a serious environmental …
About 1:6 cement-sand mix design and 0.45 water-cement ratio were maintained with partial replacement of recycled plastic waste instead of sand in the percentages 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, and 35% ...
The research explored the potential of waste plastics and silica sand for developing thermoplastic composite as floor tiles. The samples were characterized by …
The investigation reported in this paper is carried out to study the feasibility of using crushed bricks to substitute the coarse aggregate (gravel) in concrete.
1 Introduction. It has been widely acknowledged that urbanization and accompanied construction activities have resulted in a significant amount of landfill and …
This paper presents a review of research on utilization of waste materials to produce bricks. Clay is used as a binding material for natural waste material and paper mill waste.
The use of recycled sand such as waste foundry sand in the construction industry can not only eliminate the problems of waste management and environmental …
In 2017, the total casting production in India increased by 6.2%, compared to 2016 (Foundry Informatics Centre, 2020). As per the IREDA-CII Report (Bhimani et al., 2012), about 10,000 registered ...
In addition, one study claimed that, in general, using PET waste in construction materials reduces the price of such materials [51]. That plastic waste is cheap, however, does not mean that plastic sand construction materials will inevitably be competitive.
sand, plastic sand brick, plas tic sand block, plastic waste in construction, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sand bricks, low-density polyethyl ene (LDPE) sand, high-density pol- yethylene (HDPE ...
