Partial Replacement of Cement with PVC Powder

This study is mainly aimed to increase the compressive strength of concrete by partially replacing cement with PVC Powder Cementitious concrete has great practical difficulties in achieving high compressive strength and durability of high performance structures. But it becomes a challenge to increase the compressive strength and durability of particular cementations composite and also maintaining basic desirable properties of concrete. This project addresses these problems by the addition of PVC powder. The use of PVC powder as concrete admixtures not only extends technical advantages to the properties of concrete but also contributes to the environmental pollution control. Extensive research has been done all over the world on the benefits that could be accrued in the utilization of PVC powder as a supplementary cementations material. High volume PVC Powder in concrete is a subject of current interest all over the world. The main aim of this study is to analyze the compressive strength of concrete by partially replacing cement by PVC powder in concrete. In this study, An experimental study has been carried out by replacing cement with PVC powder in the proportions of 2%, 4% and 6% (by weight of cement).The mix design used in this study was M20 and the mix proportion of M20 concrete was arrived by using IS 269-1989 and The cube specimens were casted, cured and tested after 7 days and 14 days to find out the compressive strength of cube specimens.
