IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF HDPE CONCRETE Sudarshan1, Manjulavani2, V Bhikshma3 1ME Student, Lab Asst., Civil Engineering Dept., Osmania University, Hyderabad 2Professor of Civil Engineering, JNTU, Hyderabad 3Professor of Civil Engineering, Osmania University, Hyderabad Abstract In this research work, an attempt is made to investigate high density polyethylene fibre reinforced concrete (HDPE) for M30 grade concrete. In this experimental work the percentage of HDPE considered is 0 to 6%. A series of trial mixes have been conducted for the investigation to obtain the desired target strength of HDPE concrete with varying percentages. The mechanical properties are evaluated for all percentages. A total of 78 cubes, 39 cylinders and 39 prisms of standard specimens have been considered. The strength property of HDPE concrete is encouraging the results. As the HDPE is non bio degradable waste disposable material is much useful for the concrete works in durability aspects. The flexural capacity of the concrete also very much improved, hence encouraging the research Keywords: HDPE-FRC, NBD, Cement ---------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Objectives 1. To mix high density polyethylene small pieces in cement concrete. 2. To study the strength properties of the concrete by using HDPE. 3. To improve the strength properties of the concrete by using certain Additives. 1.2 Composite HDPE fibres (high density polyethylene). Fibre enables to produce a hardened concrete which has: Improved surface quality Greater impact resistance Increased damage resistance 2. TEST RESULTS 1.3 Non Bio Degradable Materials Fibre plastics Jute plastics Textile waste Polythene covers Plastics covers Disposable glass Water bottles Fiber reinforced plastic sheets Cement bags In present investigation cement bags are used (NBD). CIPET (Central institute of plastics engineers & technology) certified that the above bags come under HDPE fibers.
