Synopsis:

The waste plastic is causing a serious environmental pollution. The plastic don’t deteriorate. It is a non-biodegradable material. Once the plastic takes the birth, it is not subjected to any deteriorating actions. With all these things it is causing a serious environmental pollution. Such waste plastic fibres can be used in the concrete to produce waste plastic fibre reinforced concrete. Aim of this paper is to present the properties of waste plastic fibre reinforced concrete when natural sand is replaced by crushed stone sand by different percentages. The strength characteristics of waste plastic fibre reinforced concrete like compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength are found along with workability characteristics when natural sand is replaced by crushed stone sand by different percentages like 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60%. It can be concluded that 30% replacement of natural sand by stone crusher dust in waste plastic fibre reinforced concrete yield maximum strength and yields good workability characteristics. Thus, waste plastics and stone crusher dust which are causing environmental pollution can be effectively used in concrete.
