Abstract

Concrete is a most common material for human being to use in construction. In this study, the behavior of the hospital plastic as aggregate in concrete has been investigated on compressive strength weight reduction and workability. Also the impact resistance of concrete contains plastic aggregate has been carried out deeply in this study. Hospital plastic waste one of the unwanted plastic category, is recycled now this training. Reason to choose the hospital plastic waste to develop a new process toward removal it to valued creation and to explain the problematic of removal the loads of plastic unused. The natural a series of four concrete mixes were prepared with replacement ratio of plastic aggregate 0%, 10%, 15% and 20% by volume of natural aggregate. Also the same ratio used by adding plastic waste without replacing aggregate in the impact resistance test. The workability of the new material was originate to fall by growing plastic satisfied. From the results obtained it remained revealed that the compressive strength of the material also decrease appreciably through rise now the plastic satisfied. The workability of the fresh concrete both for the control and concrete with plastic aggregate were determine using the slump cone test.
