Abstract
Recycling plastic waste has always been vital for sustainability, besides exploiting that waste to improve the mechanical properties of concrete mixtures which contribute effectively in the field of civil engineering applications. In this research, the enhancement of compressive, tensile and flexural strength of concrete mixtures was explored using both adding plastic fibers and HP-570 super-plasticizer. Plastic waste, as fibers, was mixed with an Ordinary Portland cement for a total volume of concrete of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2%, then the HP-570 super-plasticizer was added and the procedure was re-done. At the age of 28 days of curing, the compression strength was increased by (13.2%) while both tensile and flexural strengths were increased significantly by (117.4%) and (207.5%) respectively when using the plastic as fiber with 2%. Further improvement was gained by adding the HP-570 super-plasticizer for the concrete mixture.
