Mechanical Properties of Plastic Sand Brick Containing Plastic Waste

The use of plastic has grown extensively in recent years all over the world. It is inexpensive and easily available can be moulded into any shape. However, nonbiodegradable; it causes pollution create difficulties managing even for a wealthy nation. purpose this study was to investigate environment-friendly potential demonstrate usefulness sand bricks as alternative structural elements, replacing standard clay brick. physical mechanical properties were studied different ratios 1 : 3, 4, 5 by their weight, using binder. Moreover, thermal resistance test, split tensile strength penetration Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy performed. concluded that brick depends upon uniformity mixture increases when ratio increased 4 from 3. Any increase or decrease found reduce strength. All showed zero water absorption nil efflorescence.
