From: The impacts of biomineralization and oil contamination on the compressive strength of waste plastic-filled mortar

Figure 6

Compressive strengths at replacement percentages 5–20% with waste plastic and no treatment (solid) and MICP-treated waste plastic (striped). Strengths shown are averages across HDPE, PVC, LDPE1, LDPE2 at the given replacement percentage. The bar heights represent the mean, and the error bars indicate one standard deviation. The general compressive strengths shown for each type or location of concrete construction are the required strengths according to the International Code Council Concrete Manual: Based on the 2015 IBC® and ACI 318–14. However, the strengths required for these applications may vary by design and location.
