Abstract

A significant amount of research has been devoted to examining the various properties of concrete as well as reinforced concrete due to the addition of steel fibres, and a number of articles have already been published on the usage of steel fibres in concrete. So, in the current studies, an effort has been made to examine the impact of adding polypropylene fibres (waste plastics) at a dosage of 1% by weight of cement.Compressive strength and flexural strength are two of the properties under investigation. The tests were performed in accordance with the advised practises of the pertinent regulations and were conducted on an M40 mix. This research provides a thorough assessment of the effects of recycled aggregate addition on the initial and final characteristics of waste plastic fibre concrete. The experiments indicate that adding recycled aggregates to waste plastic fibre concrete will significantly improve its workability. However, the addition results in greater water absorption, compressive strength, and tensile strength.
