Present paper emphasizes on the strength properties of concrete using waste engine oil as admixture. Investigation has been carried out for evaluating the workability and strength properties of concrete using waste engine oil as admixture into the concrete structure. This has a positive environmental effect as the cost of safe disposal of waste industrial material is significantly higher and there are strict environmental regulations. The objective to evaluate the effect of used engine oil on properties of fresh and hardened concrete. However, tests considered for study are slump test and compressive strength test. Four different percentages of admixtures (used engine oil) are chosen in the experimentation at 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.0% and 1.2% by weight of cement. Finally it was concluded that workability was enhanced. Compressive strength of concrete was decreased with increase of waste engine oil into the composition. In order to improve the workability of concrete composition, waste engine oil is a good admixture in composition.
