ABSTRACT

As we all know cement concrete is widely and commonly used in construction industry. All the materials
required to make the concrete are extracted from the environment. The environmental resources are need to be
used in control to protect the environment. There is excess amount of industrial waste that needs to treated so
that it won’t cause any harm to the surrounding human race and the other environmental elements. Here we
are trying to deal with the large amount of metal waste generated in the form of soft drink bottle caps. These
caps are hard to biodegrade therefore these can be recycled or reused. The experiment initiated with 10%
replacement of coarse aggregate with waste bottle caps. The size of bottle caps is 2.5cm (diameter) and 3mm
projections. M30 grade mix is used with 0.42 water cement ratio. The mechanical properties are tested by
carrying out the compression test, flexural test and split tensile test.

stone metal. The metal caps are collected and partial
replacement of coarse aggregate is Cement- Cement is a binding medium in the concrete
production. Ordinary Portland cement of grade 53 is
used confirming to IS 12269-1987. Initial setting time
is 30 min. And final setting time is 600 min. The
specific gravity of cement is 3.15.

V. REVIEW

This study is intended to find the effective ways to


reutilize the waste Aluminium caps, which can be
reused as a useful raw material (Coarse aggregate) for
the preparation of the concrete. Possibly the
compressive strength of the concrete increases when
coarse aggregate is partially replaced by the metal caps.
