THE PROBLEM

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RationaleINTRODUCTION

• Concrete is the most widely used man made construction material in the world. Seeking aggregates for concrete and to dispose of the waste from various commodities is the present concern.

• The study claims that by using bottle caps as a partial substitution with various percentage for coarse aggregates increases the strength of the concrete.

INTRODUCTIONThe problem of disposing and managing solid waste materials in the Philippines and other industrial countries has become one of the major environmental, economical, and social issues.

There is a great demand of constructing more structures to facilitate the needs of the community.

INTRODUCTION

An economical viable solution to these problems should include:

Utilization of waste materials for new products which in turn minimize the heavy burden on the nation’s landfills.

Recycling of waste construction materials saves natural resources, saves energy, reduces solid waste, reduces air and water pollutants and reduce greenhouse gases.

INTRODUCTION

This study will help in the field of construction industry as well as environment by exploring the use of bottle caps as a partial replacement in terms of volumetric substitution of coarse aggregate in concrete mixture for residential floor slabs and analyzing the performance of its effectiveness, and also order to offer a solution to the accumulation of solid waste.

Literature BackgroundAccording to the Republic Act No. 6541, Section 1.01.09 known as “Alternate or new Design, Material, Method of Construction, or Workmanship; Tests” emphasizes that utilization of solid wastes as a raw material in producing new design is a method in treating the solid waste.

(a) Any design, material, method of construction, or workmanship not specifically included in this Code may be used: Provided, that such alternate or new design, material, method of construction, or workmanship is at least the equivalent of those prescribed in this Code in effectiveness. (National Building Code of the Philippines)

Literature BackgroundAs mandated in the Republic Act No.

9003, Chapter 1, Article 2, Section 3.(bb) Recycling shall refer to the treating of used or waste materials through a process of making them suitable for beneficial use and for other purposes, and includes any process by which solid waste materials are transformed into new products in such a manner that the original products may lose their identity, and which may be used as raw materials for the production of other goods or services: provided, that the collection, segregation and re-use of previously used packaging material shall be deemed recycling under this Act;

Literature Background

Recycling generally refers to the processing of products or materials into similar products or using them as secondary raw materials in producing new products (Trewin, 2005).

Literature BackgroundThe researchers will use plastic, aluminum, and steel bottle caps as a partial replacement of coarse aggregates because of the following:

The researchers will use polypropylene that has remarkable properties, making it suitable to replace glass, metals, cartons and even stones.

Plastic

Literature BackgroundPlastic

Properties include:low density (weight saving), high stiffness, good impact/rigidity balance, good chemical resistance, tough, integral hinge property and good heat resistance

Literature Background

AluminumFollowing properties:

offers greater malleability, low density, can help increase the tensile capacity, and

can also reduce cracks

Literature Background

Steel

Properties are it’s:strength, toughness, ductility and durability

Statement of the ProblemTHE PROBLEM

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of using bottle caps as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates in making residential floor slabs.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the strength capacity of the concrete by using natural coarse aggregates and bottle caps as a partial substitution for coarse aggregates in terms of:

1.1 compressive strength;1.2 split tensile strength; and1.3 flexural strength?

Statement of the Problem2. Is there any significant difference in the strength of concrete using natural coarse aggregates, and bottle caps as partial replacement for coarse aggregate?

3. What is the acceptability level of the concrete using bottle caps as a partial substitution for coarse aggregates in terms of:

3.1 cost; 3.2 workability; 3.3 availability of materials; and 3.4 environmental impact?4. What action plan shall be proposed after establishing the results of the study?

Significance of the StudyTHE PROBLEM

The researchers believe that the outcome of this study would be beneficial to the following:

1. Community 2. Environment 3. Civil Engineers and Construction Contractors

4. Future Researchers

DesignRESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Experimental and Descriptive Type of researchScope and Limitations

The study focuses on making the concrete mix of residential floor slabs by utilizing the waste bottle caps as a partial substitution with various percentage for coarse aggregates (10%, 15%, and 20%)

Compressive, split tensile, and flexural strength test are the test to be conducted.

All of the bottle caps materials used as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates are recycled.

ProcedureRESEARCH METHODOLOGY

1. Asking Permission to Conduct the Study2. Searching the materials needed3. Preparation of the materials

a.) Plastic, Aluminum, and Steel Bottle Capsb.) Cement and natural aggregates

4. Mixing and Creating Concrete Samples5. Slump test6. Curing7. Testing and analysis of the data gathered8. Formulating the summary, conclusions and recommendations

Statistical TreatmentRESEARCH METHODOLOGY

To determine the difference in the strength of the concrete among the samples the Two-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) will be used to validate the claim of the study.

To determine the acceptability level in partial

substitution of bottle caps for coarse aggregates, the Weighted Mead Formula will be used.
