Abstract In order to study the effect of recycled plastic particles on the physical
and mechanical properties of concrete, recycled plastic concrete with 0, 3%, 5%
and 7% content (by weight) was designed. The compressive strength, splitting
tensile strength and the change of mass caused by water absorption during curing
were measured. The results show that the strength of concrete is increased by adding recycled plastic into concrete. Among them, the compressive strength and the
splitting tensile strength of concrete is the best when the plastic content is 5%.
With the increase of plastic content, the… More >
