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

The paper reviews the development of stress-strain curves for the conventional cement concrete containing metalized postconsumer plastic waste and the important findings from the experimental works of various researchers. To careful study of various research papers on the topic it was felt by the authors to integrate all the important results for streamlining the potential of this area of research. The paper summarizes conclusions of experiments conducted for the properties like strength, workability and durability. It was observed the improvement in strength, workability and durability properties of the conventional concrete due to the adding of plastic waste and replacement by fine aggregate in different proportions. From the review of past research works it could be concluded that utilizing the plastic waste a great potential towards the development of environment friendly and sustainable conventional concretes.
