“…Senhadji et al [17] investigated partial replacement of conventional aggregates in concrete with plastic PVC aggregates. The main conclusion was the reduction in compressive strength by 15,27, and 49 for 30%, 50%, and 70% percentages of plastic PVC aggregates, respectively. Jibrael and Peter [18] replaced 1%, 3%, and 5% percentages of sand with two types of waste materials.…”

“…According to the test data by the researchers, the compressive strength of PVC concrete decreased by 9%, 18%, 21%, and 47% for 5%, 15%, 30% and 45% PVC aggregate dosage, respectively. In addition, Patel and Dalal [27] reported an increase in slump of fresh concrete. Results showed the flexural strengths was reduced with increasing PVC aggregate to 30%.…”

In several areas worldwide, the high cost and shortage of natural resources have encouraged researchers and engineers to explore the serviceability and feasibility of using recycled aggregates in concrete mixtures, substituting a normal aggregate percentage. This technique has advantages for the environment by reducing the accumulation of waste materials, while it impacts the fresh and hardened concrete performances, reducing workability, flexural strength, compressive strength, and tensile strength. However, most studies have investigated the influence of replacing normal aggregates with waste aggregates on the concrete mechanical properties without examining the impact of using waste materials on concrete structural performance. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of replacing 75% of sand volume with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fine waste aggregates on the performance of reinforced concrete slabs. Different thicknesses of the concrete layer (0%, 25%, 50%, and 100% of slab thickness) containing PVC fine waste aggregates are investigated. Based on the reductions in the toughness and flexural strength capacity due to incorporating 75% PVC fine aggregate dosage, two approaches are used to strengthen the slabs with 75% PVC fine aggregates. The first approach is adding polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to the PVC fine aggregate concrete mix to improve the mechanical properties of the concrete. The PVA increases the water viscosity in the concrete, which reduces the dry out phenomenon. With that said, the PVA modified fresh concrete does enable the use of the limits of the PVC fine aggregate dosage for high dosage plastic aggregate concrete. The second approach uses two fiber wire mesh layers as an additional reinforcement in the tested slab. Results show that the PVC-30 slab exhibits an 8% decrease in total area toughness compared to the control (Con) slab, while for PVC-60 slab toughness, the total area shows 26% less. Additionally, the inclusion of PVA in the concrete with 75% PVC plastic waste fine aggregate replacement greatly influences the pre-and post-cracking ductile performance among other slabs, representing that using PVA with higher contents might increase the flexural performance. Therefore, due to the substantial effect of PVA material on the concrete flexural performance, it is proposed to utilize PVA with an optimum PCV fine aggregate dosage in the concrete mix.

“…Innovations have been established to replace the aggregates of different materials and improve the parameters of CHB such as compressive strength, workability, tensile strength, and flexural strength among others (Gardner et al, 2015;Senhadji et al, 2015;Manjunath, 2016;Pešić et al, 2016;Gregorova et al, 2017;Hama and Hilal, 2017;Khalil and Khalaf, 2017;Lasco et al, 2017;Patel and Dala, 2017;De Jesus et al, 2018;Nguyen et al, 2018;Hameed and Ahmed, 2019). Generally, fresh and strength parameters of concrete increase almost linearly as the percentage of replacement increases (Sharma and Bansal, 2015;Babafemi et al, 2018).…”

Population concurrently grows with demand for food and infrastructure, which are associated with plastic waste mismanagement and concrete hollow block (CHB) consumption, respectively. However, there is a dearth in the utilization of plastic pellets using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polystyrene (PS) in CHBs. Hence, this study aimed to characterize PVC and PS pellets, and evaluate and compare their potentials when incorporated as fine aggregates in CHBs in terms of workability and compressive strength. The pellets were characterized and used as a substitute to sand resulting in four batches of CHB specimen with 0, 10, 20, and 30% by volume of each pellet. Results revealed that PVC absorbed more and sank in the water while PS absorbed less and floated in water. The workability of both experimental groups increased as the substitution of pellets was increased. The compressive strengths of the PVC group dropped linearly with increasing pellet substitution and less than the minimum acceptable value. The batch with 30% PS pellets resulted in the highest compressive strength of 3.66 MPa among the experimental groups and greater than the minimum acceptable value of 3.45 MPa. Results implied that the incorporation of PS pellets in CHBs can be a promising solution to the plastic waste mismanagement and demand for stronger CHBs.
