| Summary: | This paper investigates the effects of the properties of fresh concrete incorporating
shredded Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles and Manufactured Sand (M-sand) together
as fine aggregates replacement in concrete mixtures. The investigation to determine the
correlation of the fresh properties of concrete were mainly experimental based and the
experiments involved were Slump Test, VeBe Test and Compaction Factor Test. There were two
different concrete batches were prepared, in which the first batch was partially replaced by Msand and the second batch was partially replaced by M-sand and shredded PET bottles as fine
aggregate replacements. The proportion of M-sand content and M-sand with shredded PET
bottles were 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (for M-sand) and 1.5% proportion of shredded PET
bottles respectively. The mix design was prepared in accordance to the Department of
Environment (DOE) method and utilizes M30 as the Class of Concrete. A novel empirical
relationship between slump, VeBe, and compaction factor for the shredded PET bottles and MSand based M30 concrete was proposed. The outcomes of this research has proven beneficial to
the construction industries as the utilisation of waste and recycled materials has the potential for
sustainable construction. |
