Abstract

This paper presents a brick composition comprising of thermoplastic material. We adopted low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) having cement-containing material for preparation of specimens of bricks. We used fly ash and waste plastic for preparing a specified form of brick comprising thermoplastic material and a cement-containing material. A proper mix design is composed with low-density polyethylene (LDPE), cement and fly ash in a better proportion to gain the desired strength. Plastic is a product which is easily available and became a hazardous material nowadays. Plastic is daily used, and after its use, it is simply thrown away, which creates hazards. Plastic is non-biodegradable hence can be re utilized. The reuse of plastic waste in construction and building materials is the recent application. We, in this work, prepared a brick with different compositions containing LDPE and PVC. Different strength and properties are then checked by means of various test on bricks to get desired optimum component. Results are presented further for optimum content of brick ingredients including plastic, cement and fly ash.
