Abstract

Modern activities lead to use of plastic bags in excess. Disposal of plastic is one of the major problems faced in the present era of the world. Plastic begin non-biodegradable material. It takes years to decompose. The non-biodegradability of plastic makes it very harmful to the environment. In this work, partial replacement of fine aggregate is replaced by the plastic (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%) in M30 grade of concrete containing steel fibers .The steel fibers were added at 0.5%,1%,1.5% by volume of concrete and optimum percentage is determined and that optimum percentage was used in replacement of fine aggregate . The compressive and split tensile strength are determined after 7 days and 28 days of water curing.
