Abstract
Recycling of plastic waste by using them as fine aggregate in concrete without evaluate the properties of concrete. Plastic due to itsproperties such as light weight and durability, we invent and create different technologies in different field by using the raw materials in our earth for human benefit. But as we do so, there are leftover by products (disposable materials) which are of no use and moreover, they pollute the earth from which we are getting the materials for production of technology.However itsexcessive production hasbecome a seriousthreat to theenvironmentand humanhealth. Then themain issuesare disposalofplastic waste. Plasticwaste aredegrades landfertility, As 100%replacement of natural coarse aggregate is not feasible, then optimum percentage replacement of natural coarse aggregate with plastic coarse aggregate which can givethe same ormore strengthcompared tonominal concrete.So, in this thesis, we will be trying to use disposable material, specifically plastic in the concrete. We will be taking plastic as aggregates and will be mixing it in the concrete to find out the compressive strength in the mixed concrete using IS code and compares it with the normal mix concrete. The general design mix concrete to be taken will be M25. This experiment revealedthatpartial replacement of natural aggregate with plastic aggregate achieves the maximum strength of concrete in 28 days compare to other percentage of plastic replacement at various percentage were examined and optimumpercentage is investigated.
