Mechanical properties on light weight aggregate concrete using high density polyethylene granules

Abstract

This present research and explores the properties of concrete's structural and durability High-density polyethylene granules (HDPE) are partly replaced by the coarse aggregate. Five separate concrete mixtures of grade M30 have been built to partially replace the coarse aggregate from 1% to 5%. The properties of strength and durability such as compressive strength, split tensile test, flexural test and durability test such as rapid chloride permeability test, acid test, alkaline test, sulphate test assault. In the acids, the samples will equate with control concrete after 190 days for durability test cubes. The experiment is conducted to evaluate how much the acid attacks on the concrete. The loads are determined by an average of 3 for the compressive strength, split tensile, flexural test.
