Abstract:
In this paper an attempt has been made to study various properties of concrete produced from shredded polythene bags as plastic waste and fly ash. Plastics are causing damage to environment, it is require finding out whether they can be successfully used in concrete. Conversion of waste into a resource material is an age-old practice of civilization. Fly ash was varied by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight of cement with plastic waste at a constant dosage of 0.6% by weight of concrete. The specimens were prepared for M25 grade and water to cementitious material ratio (w/c) was maintained as 0.45. Fresh concrete property like workability was examined during casting the specimens. Hardened properties were found out by carrying out the experimental work on cubes, cylinders and beams which were casted in laboratory and their behavior under test were observed at 7 & 28 days for compressive strength and at 28 days for density, flexural strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, abrasion resistance, water permeability and impact resistance.
