Properties of Concrete Containing High Impact Polystyrene Plastic as Coarse Aggregate
Keywords:
Compressive strength, Chloride resistance, High impact polystyrene plasticAbstract
This research presents a study of the compressive strength, porosity, resistance to chloride of concrete containing high impact polystyrene plastic coarse aggregates (HP). Ordinary Portland Cement Type I (CT) was used in this study. Coarse aggregate was partially replaced with high impact polystyrene plastic (HP) at the dosage levels of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by volume of normal coarse aggregate. Water to binder ratio (W/C) with constant of 0.45 was used in this research. Superplasticizer (SP) was used to control the workability of concrete mixes. Compressive strength, porosity and chloride resistance of concrete were investigates Test results found that the use of high impact polystyrene plastic (HP) at the dosage levels of 10% by volume of normal coarse aggregate increased compressive strength, improved resistance to chloride and decreased porosity of concrete in comparison with that of HP coarse aggregate at the dosage levels of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by volume of normal coarse aggregate.
