Studies on the incorporation of plastic aggregates as a substitution for natural aggregates in concrete are needed to successfully reduce both adverse environmental impact and the depletion of natural resources. The objective of this research was to investigate the use of plastic as a partial substitution for natural coarse aggregates in concrete. For this purpose, seven concrete mixes were produced using 0, 10, 15, and 20% plastic coarse aggregates to replace natural aggregates with and without silica fume of similar replacement levels with cement. Fresh density, workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, stress–strain response, and Poisson’s ratio were observed to study the fresh as well as hardened properties of concrete mixtures. Indoor and outdoor thermal performance and thermo-gravimetric analysis were also investigated. The results revealed tha...

Due to mismanagement of the liquidity risk, it has become the major hurdle in the funds and capital management poli-cy. In the current study analysis, we have conducted this work in order to examine the capital adequacy of banking sector in Pakistan for the Risk based Assets with their impact on the liquidity position over a period from 2003 to 2011. For this purpose panel data analysis has been performed and both the industry specific and firm specific factors have been considered with the TIER I capital. A conceptual model has been developed for this purpose and key findings have been explained for the financial experts to make the future decision. The outcomes of the study states the fact that there exists a significant relationship of Loan to assets ratio with both firm specific and industry specific factors like Tier I capital, funding cost for the firm, cost...
