This report was written in response to develop a solution for an engineering problem. In this proposal, the team presents a method to incorporate plastic waste into concrete. Building and Construction Authority has been urging the stakeholders in the construction industry to use waste as a construction material, providing a sustainable construction in the construction industry in Singapore. Therefore, the team is proposing to incorporate 30 – 40% of plastic waste into concrete.
This proposal will detail the effectiveness of incorporating plastic waste into concrete. The team suggests to partially replacing aggregates with shredded plastic waste and discusses its benefits and limitations. Carbon nanotubes can be added in as a supplementary material to meet any specific design requirements.
An evaluation of the benefits and possible limitations to these proposed solutions has also been included in this report.
