Abstract - The main objective of this project work is to investigate the influence of the addition of waste materials, like medical tablet strips to improve mechanical properties of concrete and also study the strength of concrete, such as split tensile strength. It has been acknowledged that the use of fibers in concrete has considerable effects to improve strength parameters and characteristics in the project work, similar effects of waste material as reinforcing material in concrete and to assess the mechanical behaviour of concrete. Particularly, this project work aimed to investigate experimentally the effect of medical tablet strips on compressive strength . Medical tablet strips are used and added upto 5%by the weight of cement with the design mix of M 25.

Therefore, concrete cubes are prepared and cast for evaluation of compressive strength . cubes are cast with addition of fibres upto 5% respectively. Medical tablet strips are used as application of utilization of wastematerialasaparticularconstructionmaterialandalsoanothersideit controls the solid waste and environmental pollution.
