The mechanical characteristics of the reference concrete with 0% LDPE granules were also measured. For this purpose a test program was accomplished in the laboratory. Six mortar mixes were prepared, identical except fine aggregate is replaced with LDPE granules volumes of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. For concrete specimens, seven mixes were done in which fine aggregate substitute via LDPE granules volumes of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%. Accordingly, a total of eighteen cubes of mortar of 50 x 50 x 50 mm and twenty one cube of concrete of 100 x 100 x 100 mm were cast for compressive strength, dry and fresh density tests and twenty eight cylinders of φ100 x 200 mm were cast for splitting tensile strength and ultra plus velocity experiments. It is worthy to demonstrate the designation used for concrete and mortar specimens. The symbol MP is used for mortar specimen, CP is utilized for concrete specimens and the number beside the mentioned symbols is the LDPE volume. For example CP10 is specimen made of concrete with 10% LDPE granules volume. 2.3 Concrete mixes and mixing Mix proportion for all concrete mixtures was 1: 1.5: 3 (cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate by weight) with ratio of water/ cement equal to 0.4 and quantity of cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and water was changed for all mixtures passing [%]PDF Image | Properties of Concrete and Mortar with LDPE Aggregate
