Most of polymer wastes is abandoned and not recycled. It leads to serious problems of wastage of natural resources and environmental pollution. Synthetic fibers, plastics and rubber belong to petrochemical compounds and are not easily biodegradable. This problem can be reduced by using plastic waste in the production of concrete. It helps in reducing concrete cost, land-fill cost, energy saving and protection of environment from pollution. Concrete with replacement of certain percentages of polyethylene material is prepared after mix design. Various tests on cement like specific gravity, fineness modulus, strength tests, setting time, etc. are performed. Mix design using IS Code method is done and cubes, beams and cylinders are casted with and without plastics and tests on concrete like slump test. The mechanical properties of concrete like compressive strength, split tensile and flexure test are conducted and compared with the result of standard specimen. As for cost analysis, the results showed that polymer concrete is more cost effective than conventional concrete. As part of case study A multi-storied building is taken and data is collected, building frame model is developed and is analyzed. Key Words- Light weight concrete, Polymer waste, Mechanical properties, HDPE. INTRODUCTION Lightweight concrete can be defined as a type of concrete which includes an expanding agent in that it increases the volume of the mixture while giving additional qualities such as lessened dead weight. The term lightweight concrete itself describes a wide range of special aggregate bases. The specific gravities and in terms of density of compactness of these aggregates are significantly lower than that of normal weight concrete aggregates. Lightweight concrete can be used for as lighter weight thermal insulate and non-structural as well as structural concrete composed of extremely light natural or manmade aggregate. Multi-storied buildings are indispensable in urban areas due to high cost of land, shortage of open space and scarcity of lands. Many times, these multi story buildings are built with regular concrete, steel and other materials where the loads are high and require heavy structures and cost may not be effective. The use of light weight concrete and lightweight materials will reduce the dead load of a structure, which then allows the structural designer to reduce the size of the columns, footings, and other load bearing elements. Structural light weight concrete mixtures can be designed to achieve similar strengths as normal weight concrete Fine aggregate used in concrete is replaced partially by plastic wastes in known percentages and properties are tested, the optimum percentage at which higher strength is obtained is calculated. Advantages of using waste or recycled plastics are it will help on reducing the municipal solid wastes being land filled and it became an alternative to pressure-treated lumber that leaches toxic chemical into water. There are many types of waste and recycled plastic that has been used in concrete mix. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study HDPE plastic (high-density polyethylene). HDPE has stronger material properties, harder, opaque and more resistant to high temperatures. HDPE is commonly used for colored milk bottles, oil container, shampoo bottles, and much more. HDPE is one of the safe plastic materials because of the ability to prevent chemical reactions between HDPE plastic packaging and the packaged food or beverages. HDPE is the polyethylene grade with the highest rigidity and the least amount of flexibility. It is well suited for a wide range of applications, like trash canisters, and a multitude of everyday household goods, such as small bottles and clothespins. This light-weight, non-toxic material is easily recyclable and serves increasingly as an alternative for less environmentally friendly substances. Figure 1 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
