EVALUATION OF USING PLASTIC WASTE OF BOTTLES AND IRON FILINGS IN CONCRETE MEMBERS

Abstract

This study shows how to deal with the waste in the environment and add it as raw materials in concrete mixtures and the extent of the impact of these materials on the resistance of concrete mix and the   durability of the model used to improve the environment conditions and to reduce the cost of raw material. Select the remnants of plastic bottles and remnants of iron filing and the adoption of the ratios of the  addition of residues on a previous research by selecting the best results  obtained in research, where the six samples were examined B1 was beam reference with a concrete mix to be compared with the models that contain the waste, model B2 was added (2%) plastic fibre of the weight of the cement , model B3 where 20% of the aggregate volume was replaced with plastic bottle caps, model B4 iron filings 2% of the weight of the cement, model B5 containing 2% plastic fibre with 2% of iron filings and model B6 replaced 20% of the volume of aggregates with plastic bottles caps and the addition 2% of the Iron filings as a percentage of the weight of cement. The results obtained were reasonable, plastic waste minimized compressive and load resistance, but with the addition of iron filings, the results were improved and increased resistance and load was observed.
