Abstract

Plastic disposal is now a significantproblem for the sustainability of the environment. And, viewing the engineering properties of plastics (e.g., lightweight, flexible, strong, moisture-resistant, and cheap) opens the possibility of using themas a structural material. Over the decade, many researchers have studied using plastics as a replacement for natural aggregates in concrete or as an additive.Besides, past experimental results have shown that adding plastic waste in concrete will alter the concrete's mechanical and durability properties. However,such concrete can still fulfillengineering properties and be used in other structures with low strength requirements. This research intends to try other possibilities of using plastic waste as partial aggregate and reinforcementinreinforced concrete.Therefore, it is proposed that researchers look into the effects of plastic particles in concrete on the environment and their durability over time due to its deterioration. It recommends surface treatment of plastics waste using appropriate chemicals.

聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)废料在钢筋混凝土中作部分骨料和配筋的研究进展

塑料处理现在是环境可持续性的一个重要问题。而且，观察塑料的工程特性（例如，轻质、柔性、坚固、防潮和廉价）为将其用作结构材料开辟了可能性。十多年来，许多研究人员研究了使用塑料代替混凝土中的天然骨料或作为添加剂。此外，以往的实验结果表明，在混凝土中添加塑料垃圾会改变混凝土的力学性能和耐久性。然而，这种混凝土仍然可以满足工程性能，并可用于其他强度要求较低的结构。这项研究旨在尝试使用塑料垃圾作为部分骨料和钢筋混凝土的其他可能性。因此，建议研究人员研究混凝土中的塑性颗粒对环境的影响，以及随着时间的推移，由于其劣化而导致的耐久性。它建议使用适当的化学品对塑料垃圾进行表面处理。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Integrated Engineering (IJIE) is a single blind peer reviewed journal which publishes 3 times a year since 2009. The journal is dedicated to various issues focusing on 3 different fields which are:- Civil and Environmental Engineering. Original contributions for civil and environmental engineering related practices will be publishing under this category and as the nucleus of the journal contents. The journal publishes a wide range of research and application papers which describe laboratory and numerical investigations or report on full scale projects. Electrical and Electronic Engineering. It stands as a international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the electrical and electronic engineering. The journal aims to present to the international community important results of work in this field, whether in the form of research, development, application or design. Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering. It is a platform for the publication and dissemination of original work which contributes to the understanding of the main disciplines underpinning the mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering. Original contributions giving insight into engineering practices related to mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering form the core of the journal contents.
