A Study on Mechanical Properties and Stress Strain Behaviour Of ConcreteContaining Plastic Waste

Abstract

Now a day’s one of the major problems in construction industries is insufficientand unavailability of construction materials, on the other side the main environmentalproblem is the disposal of the waste plastics. In this experimental study, an attempt hasbeen made to use the plastics in concrete and studies have been conducted to focus on the
behaviour of flexural and compression members under various proportions of plastics.Two types of plastics namely polythene sheets and plastic straws were selected andmixed with concrete in various proportions
