Abstract- This study’s objective is to provide the findings of an experimental inquiry in which different amounts of polyvinyl chloride waste powder (PWP) were utilised to partially replace cement. In the process of creating test specimens, PVC waste powder (PWP) was changed in the proportions of 0%, 5%, and 15% by weight of cement while the 10% calcined clay was kept constant. The slump test was carried out to examine new concrete. Concrete’s mechanical properties, such as compressive strength, split-tensile strength, and flexural strength, were investigated using curing times of 7, 14, 28, and 56 days. According to the findings of this study, M40 grade concrete can contain up to 5% PWP and 10% calcined clay without degrading its fresh or mechanical properties. It has been discovered to be favourable to obtain greater strength concrete by using PWP up to 5% as a partial replacement for cement with fixed calcined clay concentration of 10%. penetration.
