Abstract
Experimental Study of Demolished Building Waste and Pet Bottles Used in Concrete
Highlights
GENERAL Concrete is an indisputable material for the construction of various types of structures in the modern advancement of civil infrastructures
Internal micro cracks are inherently present in the concrete and its poor tensile strength is due to the propagation of such micro cracks eventually leading to the brittle fracture of the concrete
LITERATURE VIEW Professor Y P Gupta describes in the journal “Use of Recycled Aggregate in Concrete Construction: A need for Sustainable environment” (August 2009) the outcome of tests carried out about the use of Recycled Aggregate in Construction
Summary
GENERAL Concrete is an indisputable material for the construction of various types of structures in the modern advancement of civil infrastructures. Concrete and cement based materials have been implemented in structural members since prehistoric times. Day by day the implication of concrete has been developed and the limitations of concrete have been slowly but surely eliminated which increases the durability of concrete allowing a higher performance value to be achieved. Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. Plain concrete possess a very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. Internal micro cracks are inherently present in the concrete and its poor tensile strength is due to the propagation of such micro cracks eventually leading to the brittle fracture of the concrete
