1. The compressive strengths of modified (plastic added)
cement concrete nearly equals the compressive
electricity of undeniable cement concrete.
2. The most useful modifier content material is determined
to be 5% by way of weight of sand for the exceptional
aggregate.
3. The addition of plastic aggregates have now not
produced any sizable exchange in the Compressive
strength, Split tensile Strength and Flexural strength.
4. Therefore the 5% of the herbal first-class combination
can be changed to put together the concrete.
5. The permeability of modified concrete used to be
observed to be very low.
