Abstract
Now a days plastic bags are commonly used for packing, carrying vegetables, meat etc creates a serious environmental problem. Plastic bag last in environment up to 1000 years because of plastic bag last so long the number of plastic bag accumulated increases each year. Disposal of large quantity of plastic bag may cause pollution of land, water bodies and air. The proposed concrete which is made up by adding Twisted plastic Fibre in concrete may help to reuse the plastic bag as one of the constituent’s material of concrete, to improve the certain properties of concrete. The properties of concrete containing varying percentages of Twisted plastic fibre were tested for compressive strength and Flexural strength and shows that an appreciable improvement in tensile strength of concrete can be achieved by introducing cut pieces of twisted plastic fibre.
