Abstract :
This experimental study was to investigate the effects of using waste plastic (polyethylene terepthalate (PET)) bottles grounded collected from waste areas, as plaster materials mixes in agricultural buildings. In the study, waste plastic (PET) bottles used were separated in the form of granules of about 4 mm diameter and used to instead of aggregate in cement, cement-lime and lime stringent plaster. According to determined mix-rate, samples produced by adding plastic at the rates of % 0, % 2.5, % 5, % 7.5 and % 10 of aggregate weight. For these samples; some important physical and mechanical properties were determined and compared with the values of estimated for control groups. The obtained results showed that granule waste PET use of aggregate replacement; plasters‟ compressive strength, flexure tensile strength, bulk density and unit weight decrease, freezing-thawing disabilities reduce, water absorptions increase, heat conductivities decrease and forming the cracking‟s reduce compared to the control groups. In agricultural buildings, where environmental conditions are important, considering these peculiarities applying grounded waste plastics (PET) that include additive plasters may provide advantage.
