Abstract
This paper presents an optimal use of recycled plastic waste and used foundry sand as a partial substitution of fine aggregate to manufacture control and non-conventional concrete, thereby depletion of natural sand deposits can be reduced. Seven concrete mixes are prepared with varying proportions of natural sand i.e., 100, 95, 90, 85, 80, 75 and 70% with the two above mentioned replacement materials, the other constituents such as cement and coarse aggregate were kept constant by slightly adjusting the water content to produce sustainable concrete. The highest 28 days compressive strength is 29.09 N/mm2 was achieved for the concrete containing 95% sand and 5% combined RPA and UFS. 5% replacement of natural sand with RPA and UFS has shown slightly higher values of a slump, UPV and elastic modulus than control mix. However, the results also showed that the dry density of NCM5 is slightly lesser than CM.
