Natural Aggregates

Construction is growing rapidly nowadays. Buildings, housing, industry/business centers and highways will require natural aggregates which are natural resources that cannot be renewed. Therefore, we need replacement materials able to replace these natural aggregate. The large amount of plastic waste in fields, based on existing data, causes environmental pollution through it can be reused and useful for building and road construction. Most of communities don’t even know the plastic waste processing technology that allow their use in the construction of house construction such as floors, walls, roofs, and hinges and also road construction with not heavy road loads. The purpose of this activity is to provide the knowledge to the people of RPTRA related to technology for the use of plastic waste for building materials and also road construction in the area in the RPTRA environment considering it is not a public road and hence, with not heavy vehicle. The method used is firstly observation and interview of several houses visited. Then activities about using different types of plastic waste as construction materials. Finally, evaluation of the progress of the project by conducting a survey to people who had met the criteria of being a member of the plastic waste program. The success of this program will be the people’s understanding and a significate growing of any highvalue plastic use as construction material.

Plastic Composite Panel (PCP) is an innovation in the field of materials that uses recycling plastic waste to construct composite cement panels. This material innovation is one of the solutionto answer environmental problems caused by plastic waste. Some previous studies mostly used plastic waste for concrete aggregates. Thus, making this study different from previous studies. The purpose of this study is to make a prototype of a PCP that is environmentally friendly with panel dimensions sample of 100 x 30 x 10 mm thick. The method used is an experimental test using materials in the form of polyethylene terephtalate (PET) from used water bottle and cement waste as well as testing its physical and mechanical properties carried out in the laboratory. Variations in PET used for testing materials are 0- 20%. In addition to mechanical properties, specific gravity and porosity test is carried out. The best results shows that 5% PET addition to cement paste increase the flexutral strength to 4.47 MPa compared to control sample which has 3.26 MPa. Porosity test shows that addition of 10% PET reduce the density of PCP to 63.64% compared to control sample that has 44.44%.

Effectively consumed plastic waste is an emerging technical and social issue for Australia. Adding plastic waste into construction material and ensuring minimised impact to the mechanical performance of the construction material could bring significant benefits. In this study, plastic waste material was mixed into cement-stabilised rammed earth (RE) material for brick manufacture. Techno framework consisting of compressive strength test and split tensile strength derivation for structural performance assessment and life cycle assessment for determining EE(EE) performance was applied to compare recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) added RE with conventional bricks. The compressive properties of different mixtures were studied. The replacement of conventional rock aggregates in stabilised RE brick with recycled plastic waste was found to improve the structural mechanical performance with the developed composition. Following this, an EE analysis was important to assess whether these waste-based bricks can improve environmental performance in a cost-competitive manner while maintaining structural performance. The increase of recycled HDPE in RE was found to likely affect the EE performance of RE, which could possibly be overcome by using less energy-intensive cementitious materials and recycled HDPE.

Walking remains the oldest and most common mode of transport making up a portion if not most or all our daily commute. However, infrastructure developments in our urban areas have a bias towards motorised transport leading to pedestrians and cyclists being the most affected in road incidents. Increasing non-motorised transport facilities in our urban centres would increase levels of walkability, reduce the number of crashes involving non-motorised transport users, reduce traffic congestion, noise and air pollution making them sustainable and more liveable. Three hundred million tonnes of plastic waste are produced annually in the world with Kenya contributing 407,506 tonnes. The waste produced shall continue to increase with increasing population, urbanisation and development. The non-biodegradability of plastic makes proper disposal of plastic waste a menace and due to widespread littering, plastic waste has become a common sight in our urban and rural areas. The conventional materials used for the construction of walkways and cycle lanes, asphalt and concrete are most ideal for the motorised transport pavements. Plastic paving blocks can be affordable, readily available and environmentally friendly making a suitable alternate construction material if adopted. This study assessed the strength of plastic paving blocks for use in the construction of walkways and cycle lanes; by undertaking a tensile strength test according to SANS 1058:2021 on samples provided by Corec Kenya. The samples satisfied all of the strength specifications and from this it can be recommended that the plastic paving blocks can be used on low traffic pavements such as walkways and cycle lanes.

Penelitian ini mempunyai kelebihan diantaranya mampu menjadi salah satu alternatif untuk mengurangi jumlah sampah plastik jenis PET sebagai salah satu bahan kontruksi yaitu paving block yang ramah lingkungan dan dapat digunakan sebagai pengerasan jalan, taman maupun pelataran parkir. Paving block adalah suatu komposisi bahan bangunan yang terbuat dari campuran semen portland atau bahan perekat hidrolis lainnya, air dan agregat dengan atau tanpa bahan tambahan lainnya yang tidak mengurangi mutu beton tersebut (SNI 03-0691-1996). Komposisi paving block yang akan dibuat pada karya ini terdiri dari semen portland,pasir,limbah plastik dan air sebagai campuran yang akan direncanakan pada perancangan pembuatan paving block. Masyarakat belum banyak mengetahui bahwasanya plastik juga bisa dijadikan salah satu bahan kontruksi dengan menjadi bahan tambahan. Paving block dengan plastik ini tidak bisa diragukan kekuatannya seperti paving block pada umumnya. Karena dari penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa paving block dengan menggunakan serat yang terdapat pada plastik dapat meningkatkan kuat tekan pada paving. Hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa hasil paving block campuran 1: 3 dengan kuat tekan paving normal 18.07 Mpa dan paving block campuran 1:6 dengan kuat tekan paving normal 11.32 MPa maka dapat diperkirakan hasil narrative review yang sesuai penelitian kami adalah sebagai berikut, pada paving block komposisi 1: 4, kuat tekan target yang terjadi direncanakan sebesar 15 Mpa dan paving block kompisisi 1:5 kuat tekan target rencana direncanakan sebesar 13 Mpa dengan tingkat kepercayaan data R = 0.9798 dari penggambungan data sebelumnya,Dengan penggunaan subtitusi plastic terhadap pasir, maka ditargetkan akan terjadi peningkatan kuat tekan sebesar 30% dari paving block tanpa penggunaan plastic di komposisi subtitusi plastic sebesar 40%.Berdasarkan SNI 03-0691-1996 tentang klarifikasi mutu paving block, komposisi paving dengan subtitusi plastic 1 : 4 dan 1 : 5 cocok untuk digunakan pada taman kota dan pedestrian untuk pejalan kaki. Then, what if the plastic waste can be used. This research has advantages such as being able to be an alternative to reduce the amount of PET plastic waste as a construction material, namely paving blocks that are environmentally friendly and can be used as paving roads, parks and parking lots. Paving block is a building material composition made of a mixture of portland cement or other hydraulic adhesives, water and aggregates with or without other additives that do not reduce the quality of the concrete (SNI 03-0691-1996). The composition of the paving blocks that will be made in this work consists of portland cement, sand, plastic waste and water as a mixture that will be planned in the design of making paving blocks. People don't know much that plastic can also be used as a construction material by becoming an additional material. Paving blocks with plastic cannot be doubted as strong as paving blocks in general. This is because previous research shows that paving blocks using fibers found in plastic can increase the compressive strength of paving. The test results show that the results of a 1:3 mixed paving block with a normal compressive strength of 18.07 MPa and a mixed paving block of 1:6 with a normal compressive strength of 11.32 MPa can then be estimated that the results of a narrative review according to our research are as follows, on the paving block composition. 1: 4, the planned target compressive strength is 15 MPa and the paving block composition 1:5 is the planned target compressive strength is 13 MPa with a data confidence level of R = 0.9798 from combining the previous data. With the use of plastic substitution for sand, it is targeted to there is an increase in compressive strength of 30% from paving blocks without the use of plastic in the composition of plastic substitution by 40%. city parks and pedestrians for pedestrians.

This work is aimed to study the possibility of recycling plastic waste (polypropylene (PP)) as aggregate instead of sand in the manufacturing of mortar or concrete. For this, an experimental study was carried out to evaluate the influence of nano-SiO2 and recycled PP plastic particles' content on physical, mechanical, and shrinkage properties and microstructure of the mortars with recycled PP plastic particles. The sand is substituted with the recycled PP plastic particles at dosages (0%, 20%, 40%, and 60% by volume of the sand). The nano-SiO2 content is 5% by weight of cement. The physical (porosity, water absorption, and density), mechanical (compressive and flexural strength) and shrinkage properties of the mortars were evaluated, and a complementary study on microstructure of the interface between cementitious matrix and PP plastic particles was made. The measurements of physical and mechanical properties showed that PP-filled mortar had lower density and better toughness (higher ratio of flexural strength to compressive strength). However, the compressive strength and flexural strength of PP-filled mortar is reduced, and the porosity, water absorption, autogenous shrinkage, and dry shrinkage increased as compared to normal cement mortar. The addition of nano-SiO2 reduced the porosity, water absorption, and drying shrinkage of PP-filled mortar and effectively improved the mechanical properties, but increased its autogenous shrinkage. A microscopic study of the interfacial zone (plastic-binder) has shown that there is poor adhesion between PP plastic particles and cement paste. From this work, it is found that recycled PP plastic waste has a great potential to be a construction material. It can be used as partial replacement of natural aggregates instead.
