BEHAVIOUR OF Construction Planning & Management WHEN COARSE AGGREGATE IS PARTIALLY REPLACED WITH ALUMINIUM CAPS AND FINE AGGREGATE WITH QUARRY DUST

Industrial waste is one of the most rapidly growing environmental issues. The site's management is
made difficult by the need for space for waste segregation. In this research paper, aluminium caps from beverage bottles are chosen as a partial replacement for coarse aggregate in concrete based on waste recycling material. The investigation begins with a 5,10,15% replacement of coarse aggregate. It has also been noted that by using aluminium caps in concrete, we can reduce the corrosion effect
in structural members up to a certain limit. The size of the caps is kept at 2.5cm (approximately) in the concrete mix of Grade M25 with a w/c ratio of 0.43, and the workability is comparable to Nominal concrete. These caps are first examined for moisture content and quality. They are shredded
into smaller pieces after the inspection is completed. On the other hand, given the negative environmental impact of aluminium caps and the depletion of natural aggregate, using waste aluminium caps as partial aggregate replacement in concrete is expected to be a highly effective solution to the problems. Rather than investing in a landfill for waste, an alternative step is taken to implement aluminium caps in concrete. This is beneficial in low-cost construction building.
