Advancements in technology enhance not only human comforts but also damage the environment.
Presently the construction industry is in need of finding cost effective materials for improvement the strength of
concrete. Hence an attempt has been made in the present investigations to study the influence of addition of
domestic waste materials like polythene waste, soft drink bottle caps, empty waste tin, waste steel powder etc. from
workshop. In this project waste polythene fiber at a dosage of 0.5 to 2% by weight of cement will be used.
Evaluation and comparison of the compressive and flexure strength of concrete using M30 mix and test have been
carried out as per recommended procedure in relevant codes.
