Experimental Investigation of Concrete Containing Recycled Plastic Aggregate Reinforced with GFRP Bars

1.      The compressive strength of concrete is increased up to certain percentage (i.e., up to 5%) and then drastically decreases with an increase in the percentage of PCA.  2.      For 5% plastic replacement in coarse aggregate, there is 27.5% reduction in compressive strength, for 7.5% replacement, there is compressive 36.4% reduction in strength and for 10% plastic replacement, there is 49.1% reduction in compressive strength. 3.      Flexural strength of beam containing plastic aggregate is less than the strength of the normal concrete beam but that is up to the mark and can be acceptable.  4.      We get maximum Flexural strength at beam contain 5% plastic aggregate but that strength is lesser then the beam which tested with normal concrete. 5.      Flexural strength of beam goes on increasing up to the certain limit of replacement of PCA and after that adding of each percentage of plastic aggregate, we can clearly observe that there is drop down in the flexural strength of beam.
