Abstract

Polythene bags waste valorization has become a consequential environmental issue throughout the world. Single used polythene bags cause a significant problem in the management of this waste because of its arduous degradation process. In this study, single used polythene bags waste was used as a fine aggregate substitute (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) in order to evaluate the effect of compaction technique (pre-compression and vibration) during the development of the single used polythene bag waste concrete paver blocks. In the hardened state compressive strength, flexure strength, abrasion resistance, ultrasonic pulse velocity, water permeability, and impact resistance were studied to find the performance of the single used polythene bag waste concrete paver blocks. The test results showed the lower mechanical property (compressive and flexure strength), ultrasonic pulse velocity and water permeability for a single used polythene bag waste concrete paver blocks than the normal concrete paver block without shredded plastic waste. However, single used polythene bag waste concrete paver blocks showed better abrasion resistance and impact resistance. In comparison, the pre-compressed concrete paver blocks showed good performance than the vibrated concrete paver blocks. Therefore, the pre-compression compaction method is recommended for the polythene bags waste paver block development and single used polythene bags' waste content should be limited to 5% to substitute the fine aggregate.
