Abstract EN
Polyethylene products are major components of waste materials in Iraq today .
More than 5000 ton per year of Polyethylene (500 cm3 bottle capacity) becomes waste material in Duhok city only.
This paper investigates the effect of using waste Polyethylene on mechanical properties of concrete.
Eighteen beams of (150*150*750mm), 33 cubes (150*150*150 mm) and 33 cylinders (150*300 mm) in dimensions were casted with waste polyethylene (fibers and chips) which were added as a percentage (0,0.4,0.8,1.2,1.6 & 2) to total volume of concrete.
After testing , the results indicates that there is a loss in workability and a reduction in strength reached 26.7% , 42.8% and 26.7% for compressive strength , splitting tensile strength and flexure strength respectively.
