Increase in Strength of Concrete by using Waste Plastic Bottle Caps as Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate

This Study serves as performance indicators concrete workability and strength be mixed using a waste plastic bottle caps as partial replacement of Coarse Aggregate, Sand, Cement, Coarse Aggregate and Water. The importance of this alternatively stone replacement to reduce plastic waste that is hard to lapse and to avoid waste of waste that can be adapted to something that can be used in the development of technology in the future. In addition the reducing the pollution of nature, it also saves cost and apply the concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Concrete is most widely used construction material in the world. To solve environmental issue like deposition of waste product, recycling or reuse of waste product, I am using waste product bottle caps to make eco-friendly concrete. A standard proportionate mixing of bottle caps in concrete in replacement of aggregate gives best result. Due to growing environmental awareness, the world is increasingly turning to researching properties of waste and finding solution on using its valuable components parts so that those might be used as secondary raw material in other branches. Green building is an increasingly important global concern and a critical way to conserve natural resources and reduce the amount of materials going to our landfills. Large quantities of waste are generated from empty cans and bottle caps of juices and soft drinks. This is an environmental issue as plastic waste is difficult to biodegrade and involves processes either to recycle or reuse. Today the construction industry is in need of finding effective materials for increasing the strength of concrete structures with low cost, and with less environmental damage. This research is aimed at addressing such issues by investigating the possibility of using waste bottle caps to partially substitute for coarse aggregate in concrete production. The compressive strength and flexural strength properties at different percentages replacement of coarse aggregate with waste bottle caps were investigated in laboratory. By replacing coarse aggregate with 0%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15% of the waste plastic bottle caps in concrete is studied. To ensure the success of this study, the materials to be used are as coarse aggregate, cement, sand, water and waste plastic bottle caps diameter not more than 31mm. Where will the new waste plastic bottle caps Crush form. In addition there are two trial mixes to be made i.e. 1) Ordinary Concrete, 2) Concrete with addition of crushed form plastic bottle caps for M-30 grade of concrete. These samples are compared with Ordinary Concrete with VSI Sand.
