Concrete is a resourceful material for civil engineering construction. It has many properties such as compressive strength, durability and fire resistance. Concrete is made up of aggregates, cement, water and various admixtures. This article is about the study of waste fishing nets. Normally fish nets (made up of plastics) are adding 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% in concrete and compared the fibre concrete with the conventional concrete with the mechanical properties. By using the fibre in concrete as 10 mm length and the diameter is to fix as per the aspect ratio. Concrete is a composite material. Normal concrete is strong in competition but it has very low tensile strength and also micro cracks developed due to shrinkage. This paper presents and experimental examination of how the different combinations of nylon fiber percentage influence the tensile strength, compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete. It includes laboratory tests on normal concrete and nylon fiber reinforced concrete cylinder to investigate the behavior of specimens subjected to compressive and tensile loading. An experimental investigation on the flexural behavior of rectangular concrete beam specimens reinforced with and without nylon fiber under flexural loading is presented. The laboratory tests were conducted on specimens with seven different percentages of nylon fibers with three trials of each combinations. It was observed that nylon fiber reinforced concrete specimens shows enhanced strength properties compared to the normal concrete. The incorporation of nylon fibers in concrete enhances its tensile strength, durability, and resistance to cracking. This composite material exhibits improved structural integrity and resilience, making it suitable for applications in construction where flexibility and toughness are essential. The nylon fibers act as reinforcement, mitigating the formation of cracks and enhancing the overall performance of the concrete.This has been done in order to reduce the disposal of plastics and for effective utilization of waste plastics that are hazardous to environment. This study attempts to give a contribution to the effective use of domestic wastes (plastics) in concrete as fibres in order to prevent the environmental strains caused by them, also to limit the consumption of natural resources.
