Study on mechanical characterization plastics waste as coarse aggregate (PWCA) for concrete

Quantities of plastics waste have been increased these recent years due to the boost in industrialization and the rapid improvement in the standard of living. In Malaysia, most of plastics waste is abandoned and not recycled. This situation causes serious problems such as wastage of natural resourc...
