Abstract

At present, the construction cost as lack of sand is enhancing day by day. To counteract this problem, sand is partially replaced in the form of plastic wastes material. Plastic waste is recycled in the form of the production of new material that may be used as an optional component in Concrete & is one of the best ways to discard plastic waste. Also, these techniques proved to be highly cost-effective than ordinary methods. This dissertation aims to utilize plastic waste as an optional replacement (0%, 10%, 20%, 40% & 60 %) of innate river sand and test it for compressive strength, tensile strength, flexure strength, and sustainability.

Keywords

Recycle, plastic, Concrete, strength.
