UNCONFINED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CONTROLLED LOW STRENGTH MATERIAL PLASTIC COMPOSITES FOR PAVEMENT ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS.

Abstract

The current construction business has expanded from the past, resulting in a shortage of construction materials. Most of which are natural materials, resulting in a continuous decrease in the amount of natural materials available and likely to run out in the future. Therefore, this research aims to study Mix ratio of Controlled low strength material (CLSM). By using industrial waste and recycled materials. Contains fly ash and bottom ash from Mae moh power plant. Recycled concrete from demolition of buildings in engineering Plastic waste from plastic bottles and sodium hydroxide solution as a solvent for Pavement Engineering Applications. It will study the basic properties of engineering. And strength properties of CLSM using a solution of sodium hydroxide at a concentration of 10 molar as a solvent. And replace the fine aggregates with bottom ash. And recycled concrete at the ratio of fine aggregate to binder 1.5, and fly ash and plastic waste were used as binders at the ratio of plastic waste to binder of 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 percent. CLSM samples are tested for basic engineering properties, including collapse, diffusion, flow. Formation time, water oozing, unit weight and unconfined compressive strength properties were tested. This is a key parameter for pavement design.
