Abstract
The present paper reports the results of the experimental investigation of a sustainable lightweight concretecontaining polymers derived from the recycling of the sheets of electric wires. After the removal ofthe copper, the plastic insulating sheet is ground into small size granules. Firstly the chemical and physicalproperties of plastic granules are investigated and their applicability in concrete is studied. Measurementsof dynamic stiffness, impact sound pressure reduction and thermal conductivity show that thedeveloped concrete can be successfully used for thermal and acoustic insulating lightweight screeds tobe applied above the concrete structural slabs in floors.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
