ABSTRACT
This project aims at investigating the effect of using waste plastic materials on the compressive strength of concrete. Most plastic are not biodegradable; they will stay in landfills until they are cleaned up, an important problem we are facing is dumping of plastic waste materials which causes a lot of problems, manufacturing of cement produces carbon dioxide, production of aggregates adds dust to the environment and affects the geology of the area. in order to decrease plastic waste and the strain on natural aggregate, it can be used in the construction field. plastic is inorganic in nature so it does not affect the quality and consistency of concrete. Waste plastic were collected from plastic dumps and factory waste. The plastic can be filler material in concrete as well as it can be used to improve the mechanical properties of concrete.
