Correlation Between Slump, VeBe and Compaction Factor of Concrete Containing Shredded PET Bottles, Manufactured Sand (M-sand) and River Sand as Fine Aggregate

This paper investigates the effects of properties fresh concrete incorporating shredded Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles and Manufactured Sand (M-sand) together as fine aggregates replacement in mixtures. The investigation to determine correlation were mainly experimental based experiments involved Slump Test, VeBe Test Compaction Factor Test. There two different batches prepared, which first batch was partially replaced by M-sand second PET aggregate replacements. proportion content with 25%, 50%, 75% 100% (for M-sand) 1.5% respectively. mix design prepared accordance Department Environment (DOE) method utilizes M30 Class Concrete. A novel empirical relationship between slump, VeBe, compaction factor for M-Sand proposed. outcomes this research has proven beneficial construction industries utilisation waste recycled materials potential sustainable construction.
