Abstract
The polythene bags have become an important part of human beings all over the world. Due to such heavy usage, it has become an environmental problem to dispose these polythene bags thus creating pollution in the environment in recent years. Since, these bags are not bio-degradable; it has to be utilized in construction industry so as to reduce its effect on environment.This study examines mechanical an durability properties of concrete using polythene waste as a partial replacement of fine aggregate at replacement levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight of the fine aggregate. Total 110 concrete specimens were cast in this study. The specimens were prepared of the concrete mix of M30 grade and 0.45water to cement ratio was maintained. The effects on different properties of concrete with polythene waste were evaluated in this study. The specimens of concrete mixes were tested for workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, carbonation depth, freeze-thaw resistance and load deflection behavior.
