Abstract: This project aims to investigate the use of waste plastic materials as a means of enhancing the strength of concrete. Plastic waste is a major environmental issue, and finding ways to repurpose it is an important goal. In this study, various types of waste plastic, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), will be used as additives to concrete mixes. The impact of different plastic percentages on the mechanical properties of the resulting concrete, such as compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength, will be evaluated through laboratory testing. The study will also assess the effect of waste plastic content on the durability and permeability of concrete. The results of this research will provide valuable insight into the potential of using waste plastic in the construction industry as a sustainable and effective means of improving concrete strength, while also reducing plastic waste.
