Abstract
Now a days we face environmental problems due to the improper disposal of plastic wastages. In order to prevent the issue, fibres from used plastics are added in the concrete with various proportions of 0%,0.5%,1.0%,1.5%. Now the above proportions can be used in M20 and M25 grade of concrete. “The previous experiments have been done only by using plastics as ashredded form and directly applied into the concrete. The present research carries adifferent method of handling the plastic wastage by converting them into fibres into atwisted product manually”. For that, an experimental work has been carried out on the specimens like cubes and prisms for compressive and flexural strength respectively in the laboratory after 7days and 28 days of curing of specimen. Finally, the results obtained are compared and validated against the controlled specimen.
