Compressive
strength tests were
conducted on
cylindrical concrete
specimens cured for
7 and 28 days,
examining six
concrete mixes:
reference specimens
with no recycled
material (CS0),
specimens with 15%
plastic (CSP15), 15%
(CSR15), and 30%
(CSR30) tire, and 15%
(CSG15) and 30%
(CSG30) glass. A total
of 24 cylindrical
specimens of 8"x4"
were tested. Results
indicate that the
compressive strength
order is CS0 > CSG30
 > CSG15 > CSR15 >
CSR30 > CSP15. The
study observes a
decrease in
compressive strength
with increasing
plastic and rubber
content due to poor
bonding with
cement. Conversely,
the compressive
strength increases
with higher glass
content, indicating a
strong bond between
glass and concrete.

days, the
compressive strength

interestingly, the
