COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE USING ALUMINIUM SOFT DRINK CAN AS PARTIAL COARSE AGGREGATE REPLACEMENT

This paper presents the study on compressive strength of concrete
by incorporating 5% and 10% of waste aluminium soft drink can
(ASDC) as partial replacement of coarse aggregate. Using
standard mix design, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete
was made to have a target mean strength of 30 N/mm2
. The size
for concrete cubes designed is 100 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm. The
slump test result shows that the ASDC partial replacement of
coarse aggregate by weight increases the workability of fresh
concrete. The compressive test has shown that 5 % of ASDC
aggregate gives the highest strength, 36.2 MPa, compared to 10%
with 32.1 MPa.
