Abstract
Plastic wastes are being major reason for solid waste disposal. As the plastic is non-biodegradable and cost effective materials with high strength are in great demand by construction industries. This Study deals with the possibility of using waste plastic as fiber in concrete by replacing 0.5%, 1% & 1.5% by weight of cement. The test specimens are made in the form of Cube, Cylinder and Prism. Compression, Split Tensile and Flexural test is carried out to find the strength of concrete. The studies will conduct on a M25 mix and investigation process will be carried out as per recommended procedures by relevant codes. Finally, the obtained results using FRC are compared with conventional concrete.
