EVALUATION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS WITH PLASTIC ADDITIVES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DURABLE PAVEMENT BLOCKS: CASE STUDY OF OFFA, NORTH CENTRAL NIGERIA
ABSTRACT The management of plastic waste (whose generation is on the increase) poses a great challenge to environmentalists owning to its non-biodegradability. The research project aims at using waste plastic materials as binding groundmass in place of cement thereby producing pavement blocks that are more durable and more failure resistant than the existing cement derived pavement blocks(whose water absorption rate as well as moderate resistance to acidic condition is a ...
