work as a replacement for coarse aggregates in the production of concrete cubes and cylinders. The strength of the test concrete in terms of compression and split tension was experimentally assessed using waste plastic granulesbased concrete cubes and cylinders. In terms of compression and split tension, the strength of plastic granules that substituted concrete was determined to be comparable to ordinary concrete. The current study is based on a concrete mix using waste plastic granules (0, 10%, 20%, and 30%) as a partial replacement for coarse aggregate, which will result in a reduction in structural dead weight. Compression was applied to this mixture in the shape of cubes and cylinders. As a result, using plastic granules in concrete is not only useful, but it also aids in the disposal of plastic trash.
2. METHODOLOGY The most extensively utilised man-made construction material is concrete. The search for materials for construction and the disposal of waste plastic are also ongoing concerns. In the building business, sustainability has become a key issue. In this study, recycled waste plastics were used to make coarse aggregates, giving a long-term solution for dealing with plastic trash. There are many recycling operations around the world, but as plastics are recycled, their strength deteriorates. Instead of recycling plastic over and over, it might be used to prepare aggregates for concrete, which would be beneficial to the construction industry. The majority of concrete structure failures are caused by aggregate crushing, which causes the concrete to fail. Waste plastic aggregates with low crushing qualities are more difficult to crush than stone aggregates.
1. INTRODUCTION The challenge of discarding and managing solid waste products has become a serious environmental, economic, and social issue in all countries. To address the growing waste disposal issues, a comprehensive waste management system that includes source reduction, reuse, recycling, and incineration must be established. These plastics are not recycled into new plastic goods of the same sort. The use of biodegradable polymers has also risen. Because of the differences in characteristics and melt temperatures, if these plastics are mixed in recycling, the reclaimed plastic will not be recyclable. The goal of this experiment is to see if granulated waste plastic materials can be used to replace coarse aggregate in concrete composites in a proportional manner. Among the various waste components, waste plastic merits special attention due to its non-biodegradable characteristic, which is causing several environmental issues. Every year, India generates over 60 million tonnes of solid trash. This is increasing at a pace of 1.5 to 2% each year. Plastics account for 12.5% of total garbage, the majority of which comes from discarded water bottles. Dumping or burning discarded plastic is not an option since it causes uncontrolled fires and pollutes the land and vegetation. On this subject, extensive research and studies have been conducted in countries such as Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom. However, there have been very few research on the use of plastics in concrete in India. As

In comparison to stone aggregates, plastic aggregates are also lower in weight. Because a complete substitution for Normal Coarse Aggregate is not possible, a partial substitution using varying percentages of Waste Plastic Coarse Aggregate is attempted. As a result, the goal of this research is to use waste plastic granules to partially substitute coarse aggregate in concrete mixes (0 percent , 10 percent , 20 percent , and 30 percent ). To determine the behaviour and strength parameter, this combination in the shape of cubes and cylinders was compressed and split tensioned.
