Abstract
Since the development of plastic in the last century, being versitile it has become very popular for diversified uses. The problem appears when these plastics, particularly shoppers are disposed as waste. The current reuse and recycling rates for the plastic shoppers waste are very low. Construction Industry has a great potential for the reuse of shoppers waste. Shoppers waste has been compressed to fabricate compressed shoppers waste (CSW) blocks. This study is related to an innovative reuse of CSW-blocks for the construction of prestressed structural arch. This paper is dedicated to the design and construction of structural arch using shoppers waste as a material.
Highlights
Plastic shopper bags have become a major environmental concern in many countries around the world
Compressed shoppers waste (CSW) blocks have been fabricated for use as a construction material
The engineering properties of CSW-blocks required for design have already been investigated and published (1)
