| Abstract | ||
| In most of the country's cities, plastic waste has become a nuisance. Many cities have not effectively managed their plastic waste. Plastic waste is an environmentally favorable solution. accessible for reducing environmental effects. This study examines the impact of using recycled plastic waste (RPW) as a partial replacement for cement and fine aggregate. Standard testing for cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregates was carried out. Experiments were carried out to replace fine aggregate with RPW at varied percentages (15%, 30%, 45%) and cement with varying percentages (10%, 15%, 20%). Concrete cubes sized 100 х100 х 100mm were cast. we studied and compared the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. The Compressive strength tests were performed for concrete curing ages of 7 and 28 days. The experiment demonstrated that replacing up to 30% of fine aggregate and 15% of cement with RPW resulted in improved concrete strength. Using waste plastic in concrete reduces the cost of Construction leads to environmental sustainability. | ||
