A Review: Impact of Static and Impact Load on the Mechanical Properties of Plastic Concrete

Abstract

This review search seeks to know how the replacement effect on concrete is by replacing aggregate (coarse or fine) with plastic granules. Plastic does not dissolve in the climate and provides an early warning for collapses when mixed with concrete to give it more flexibility, making it more crucial to resist tensile stresses, increasing its strength, and seeking to make it more durable. The use of plastic is expanding day by day because of the rapid population increase and their constant demand. Every day, this causes a considerable amount of rubbish, which is harmful and causes pollution and plastic materials to take hundreds of years to dissolve. Solid waste management is currently a difficulty in any country, and the large-scale depletion of resources is causing environmental issues. For the concrete business, an alternative or alternative product must be produced. Plastic waste is the most challenging problem in solid waste management globally. In many countries, concrete has been one of the most excellent solutions for construction materials. It has hastened the pollution of the environment. It would be worthwhile to use plastic waste in concrete to solve the dual problems of a lack of raw materials and the safe disposal of plastic trash. This research aims to see if waste plastic can be used as a fine aggregate in concrete.
