Lecture 8 - Sustainable Construction Materials - Plastic Waste

Описание: Plastic Waste as a Sustainable Construction Material | Civil Engineering

Plastic waste is a major environmental challenge due to its non-biodegradable nature. This lecture explains how plastic waste can be responsibly used in construction, with a clear focus on roads and non-structural concrete.

📌 Key focus of the lecture:
• Sources and quantity of plastic waste (India context)
• Relevant IS codes and IRC/MoRTH provisions
• Physical and chemical properties of plastic waste
• Role of plastic in concrete and bituminous roads
• Advantages, limitations, and application boundaries
• Sustainability benefits through engineering judgment

👉 Plastic waste is not a structural replacement material.
Its effectiveness depends on type, size, dosage, and method of use.

Plastic waste can be used as a sustainable modifier in roads and non-structural concrete, provided proper mix design and performance checks are ensured.
