Abstract
This work is aimed to evaluate the effect of recycled and virgin high density polyethylene (HDPE) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) waste granules on selfconsolidating concrete mixture including Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) fly ash. Within the scope of experimental, five SCC mixtures were designed. The effect of plastic particles as coarse aggregate substitution has been evaluated by the mechanical and physical tests on fresh and hardened concrete. At the end of the study, the drying shrinkage behavior and compressive strength of SCC mixtures were improved by the addition of plastic waste granules.
