  • Abstract:
  • Concrete starts to develop cracks as soon as it is placed because concrete is foible in tension, and is also brittle natured. Such reasons do not allow to practice an ordinary concrete for its use as rigid structure of pavements as it may result in cracks and other failure associated with rigid structured pavements, such limitations can be eliminated to a greater extend by utilizing the fibres in concrete mix to enhances its properties in addition to its own compression ability. Waste materials like polythene and rubber tire contributes to various pollutions like water, land and air pollution. These pollutions lead to various health problems also. These polymeric wastes can be effectively used in concrete in the form of fibres and these wastes will act as reinforcement in concrete. Polythene is basically a synthetic material that can enhance the limited properties of normal concrete like ductility, strength, shrinkage characteristics etc. This experimental work deals with the study of effect of using polymeric substances on the characteristics of concrete. Polythene and tyre being cut into pieces of particular size of 30mm*6mm and they are then mixed properly with concrete mix such that there should be uniform distribution within the concrete mix. Suitable concrete grade used in this experimental analysis is M30. For the design mix IRC44:2008 was followed. Concrete's strength characteristics have been identified through this experimental study. For flexural and shear observations, a double shear test and a four-point bending test were used. It has been noted that the compressive strength of concrete has risen by 17.49%. Increment in flexural strength has been observed as 37.34% and specific decrement in redirection was 22.22 %. Also, there was a gain in shear quality to30.95% and decrease in redirection was observed as 37.54% for M30 grade of concrete. It was observed that the waste material used to construct a single lane road of length 1000 m is about 17783. 831kgs. Based on the collected data, it can be concluded that polymeric wastes can be utilized in rigid pavements to enhance concrete's qualities and lower different kinds of pollutants.
