The use of composite materials poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) in construction were studied. The use of PVC plastic pipe for concrete tubing is an alternative to use instead of concrete encased in steel tube and hence improve strength, ductility, durability, economical and environmental friendly. The key application of PVC tubing was its use in high aggressive environments and stop the penetration of chlorine and carbon dioxide directed towards core concrete and defect core concrete. Although the use of PVC as a composite materials in aggressive environments are efficient but PVC behave like brittle materials. The main parameters discussed are geometric and materials properties of thin PVC, stay-inplace formwork, PVC tubing from conventional concrete and rubberize concrete, confinement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
