APPLICATIONS OF PLASTICS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
Applications of plastics in civil engineering building construction are many. The prime reason for this is the property of plastics which makes it durable, non-corrosive, low cost and many others.
There are two types of Plastics, namely Thermoplastic and Thermosetting plastics distinguished by the physical property.
Thermoplastics:
This type can be softened by heating after they have been cured and remoulding cycle can in theory be repeated an indefinite number of times but in practice some defects may eventually take place. The curing process is that by which the shape is moulded by heat and pressure to form the hard shape.
Thermosetting Plastics:
The shape is first prepared by softening under heat and then cured with the use of further heat. After this stage, no further heat will deform the moulded shape once chemical decomposition has occurred. In general these plastics have giant three dimensional molecules.
APPLICATIONS OF PLASTICS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING:
Plastics are manufactured in different forms such as moulding pipes, sheets and films. They are formed or expanded to produce materials of low density. Dissolved in solvents or dispersed as emulsions, they are used in paints, varnishes and adhesives. At present, plastics find use in buildings mainly in thin coverings, panels, sheets, foams, pipes etc. skilful use of plastics will expand the usefulness and life of conventional building materials and help them to function more efficiently and economically.
A wide range of applications of plastics in buildings are given below:
Applications of plastics in façade panels, exterior covering, carpentry etc.
