3. Proposed title of the Dissertation / Thesis: USE OF PLASTIC IN PAVING BLOCKS

4. Reason for this topic selection: (state the gap in existing situation and current
research work & why do you want to do this research in this field).
PLASTIC IS VERY HARD AND LIGHT WEIGHT POLLUTED MATTER IN THE NATURE
WE CAN RECYCLE/REUSE THIS IN THE PAVER BLOCKS AND DECRESE THE
OVERALL COST.
PLASTIC –
1. PLASTIC IS HARMFUL MATERIAL
2. PLASTIC EFFECTING THE NATURE AND LIFE GLOBALLY
3. REUSE OF THE PLASTIC CAN REDUSE THE HARM IN NATURE AND IT’S ALSO
CHEAPER TO USE PLASTIC IN SOME CASES.
WHY PLASTIC –
1. DECREASE THE SETTELING TIME
2. LIGHT WEIGHT FOR TRANSPORTATION
3. CURING IS NOT IMPORTANT
4. EVEN DAMEGED PLASTIC CAN RECYCLEABLE AND REUSABLE
5. TO SAFEGUARD THE NATURE BY RECYCLING PLASTIC
OBJECTIVES-
1. COMPAIRING THE COST OF CEMENT CONCRETE AND PLASTIC PAVER
BLOCKS
2. COMPAIRING THE STRENGTH BETWEEN CEMENT CONCRETE AND PLASTIC
PAVER BLOCKS
3. CHECKING THE WATER RESSISTANCE OF PLASTIC BLOCKS
IN PREVIOUS ‘INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY
(IJERT) ,ISSN: 2278-0181,VOL. 6 ISSUE 02, FEBRUARY-2017’ IS ALSO WORKED ON THE REUSE OF
PLASTIC WASTE IN PAVER BLOCKS

WORK DONE ON THE PLASTIC PAVER BLOCKS RECENTLY-

1. THE EMERGING TECH HUB OF HYDERABAD HAVE FOUND A GOLDEN

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE PLASTICS IN PAVER BLOCKS INTO
EFFICIENT BUILDING MATERIALS USED TO CONSTRUT CITY PEDESTRIAN
WALKWAYS.
 2. IN GHANA,AFRICA, CITY HAVE A SANITATION PROBLEM, POOR SANITATION
COSTS THE COUNTRY $290 MILLION ANNUALLY AND A GOOD PROPORTION
OF THE WASTE MATERIAL IS MADE UP OF PLASTIC. THE GOVERNMENT OF
GHANA CAME UP WITH A PRODUCTION PROCESS THAT MIXES SAND WITH
SHREDDED PLASTIC AND RED OXIDE TO MAKE ONE-SQUARE FOOT
PAVEMENT BLOCKS.
5. Research methodology for Dissertation: (how do you want to do this research?)
In this section, you have to explain the method and time schedule for the various
parts of the dissertation. Ex.
a. Step 1: Method of Primary data collection

RESEARCH ABOUT THE PROPERTIES AND NATURE OF THESE TWO MATERIALS

(CEMENT CONCRETE AND PLASTIC) BY THE HELP OF AVAILABLE DATA ONLINE
ON THE INTERNET

b. Step 2: Method of secondary data Collection

COLLECTION ALL THE NECESSARY DATA IN THE LIBRARY OF OUR INSTITUTE

c. Step 3: method of data analysis

6. Case study / Site Study proposed if any: ______________

ABSTRACT -
An early version of interlocking concrete pavement dates back to the Roman
Empire when The Appian Way was built from stone paving on an aggregate base
in 312 B.C. With the growth and development on all fronts in our country,
economic and infrastructural, there is an increasing need for new facilities,
buildings, roads etc. This has in turn resulted in a huge demand for the materials of
construction and the raw materials from which these are obtained or made, thus
putting an increasing pressure on the natural environment around us. Also the
disposal of residual waste, domestic as well as industrial, has become a major
concern and a challenge for the authorities and care-takers.

At present nearly 56 lakhs tones of plastic waste is produced in India per year and
Global plastic waste totals 4.9 billion tonnes(cosmos). The degradation rate of
plastic waste is also a very slow process. Hence the project is helpful in reducing
plastic waste in a useful way. In this project we have used plastic waste in different
proportions with, coarse aggregate and ceramic.

Concrete is considered the world’s most used construction materials. The

consumption of
waste material can be increased manifold if these are used in such a manner by
replacing them with some of construction items. This type of use of waste material
can solve problems of money, environmental issues. This Project focuses on the
use of recyclable materials in paving blocks. Plastic is used because of their easy
availability & non-biodegradable waste.

Not only in India but in other countries also, the amount of waste plastic is
increasing due to day to day uses. The waste plastic is produced every day,
therefore the demand
for more effective applications for recycling waste them is intense.

INTRODUCTION-
The aim of this project is to replace cement with plastic waste in paver block and
to reduce the cost of paver block when compared to that of convention concrete
paver blocks. Paver block paving is aesthetically attractive, functional, and cost
effective and requires little or no maintenance if correctly manufactured and
constructed. Natural resources are depleting worldwide at the same time the
generated wastes from the industry and residential area are increasing substantially.

Currently about 56 lakh tonnes of plastic waste dumped in India in a year. The
dumped waste pollutes the surrounding environment. As the result it affects both
human beings and animals in direct and indirect ways. Hence it necessary to
dispose the plastic waste properly as per the regulations provided by our
government. The replacement of plastic waste for cement provides potential
environmental as well as economic benefits.

Analysing the behaviour of quarry rock dust, recycled plastic, production of plastic
paver block from the solid waste a critical review of literature was taken up.The
physical and mechanical properties of materials used in Plastic Paver block were
investigated. For the test 5 cubes cube were cast for measuring Compressive
strength.
