METHODOLOGY Abstract - Now days, Solid waste management (SWM) is one of the foremost environmental apprehensions in our country. In recent years a significant expansion in the utilization of plastic is noted worldwide, which led to enormous quantities of waste related to plastic. Reprocessing of plastic waste to turn out new materials like concrete is one of the logical methods of setting out wastes, due to its financial and environmental benefits. Numerous works have been carried out or are under execution to assess the properties of concrete including plastic waste. In this project, study on the fractional replacement of sand with High Density Polyethylene powder is done. An assessment between traditional concrete and concrete with HDPE powder is accomplished to study the strength and durability parameters. In the present work different percentage replacements of sand with HDPE powder is examined.
The aim of the experimental program is to study the behaviour of concrete in which fine aggregate is partially replaced by HDPE powder. In this chapter a detail has been explained about the material used and different tests conducted. 2.1 Materials 1. Cement Ordinary Portland cement of specific gravity 3.15 (IS 40311988 part II) is used in this research program. To assess some parameters like fineness, consistency and setting time test. Different tests have been conducted done on cement. Table 1.1 Properties of Cement
Key Words: High Density Polyethylene powder (HDPE), Solid waste management, Sand, Recycling plastic waste, Compressive Strength, Split tensile Strength and UPV.
1.INTRODUCTION Since many years, research pertaining to the use of byproducts to supplement the properties of concrete has been going on. In the last two decades, a determined attempt have been made to employ industry derivatives such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), glass cullet, silica fume, etc. in civil constructions. The possible applications of industry derivatives in concrete are as partial aggregate substitution or as partial cement replacement rely on their chemical composition and grain size. The utilization of these materials in concrete comes from the ecological constraints in the safe discarding of these products.

2. Fine Aggregate: In this experimental program, sand is used as fine aggregate. Sand passing through sieve IS 4.75mm is utilized for a variety of tests. Table 1.2 Properties of Sand
One of the various waste materials used in the concrete industry is recycled or reprocessed plastic. In order to dispose huge amount of recycled plastic material, reprocess of plastic in concrete manufacturing is considered as the most viable application. Recycled plastic can be employed as coarse aggregate or fine aggregate in concrete. Though, it is important to emphasize that re-using of wastes is not yet economically beneficial, due to the costs of transport and its result on the total cost of production.
