To develop an efficient way and to effectively utilize the waste plastics . To reduce the consumption of natural resources such as clay for the manufacturing of bricks/tiles . To minimize and reuse generation of waste plastic on the land and water to avoid land and water degradation and consequent pollution hazard . To reduce the dumping area of waste plastics. Objectives 3
Soil is a loose, unconsolidated material on the earth’s crust and it is formed by the weathering of solid rocks. The laterite formation was named in southern India1807, and it was described by Francis Buchanan-Hamilton. He named it from the Latin word “later” which means brick. This rock can be easily cut into brick shaped blocks for building construction. Introduction 4
Author Name – Maneeth P D, et.al, Published - 2014 In this paper, bricks of different mix proportions were prepared with varying plastic (PET, PP), laterite soil (passing 2.36mm IS Sieve) and bitumen content, and the bricks were tested for compressive strength and water absorption. This study showed that strength of these bricks was dependent on plastic percentage and minimum 60% of plastic by weight is required for plastic soil bricks by trial and error method.

This paper is the attempt made to study regard the properties of the bricks and paver blocks which are manufactured using plastic wastes, river sand and some colouring agents like red oxide. Various mix proportion of plastic and river sand (1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, and 1:6) were made and tested for compressive strength using compressive testing machine and water absorption test. 6 2) Author Name – Dinesh.S , et.al , Published - 2016
In the present paper, bricks or building blocks were manufactured from sand and waste plastics after heating at 200o c and tested for some physical and mechanical properties. On the basis of results obtained from the study it was concluded that these bricks can be used as alternative for available traditional clay bricks because of its lower water absorption, bulk density, apparent porosity and high compressive strength . 7 3) Author Name – LairenlakpamBillygraham Singh, et.al, Published - 2017
In this paper, the authors are attempting to manufacture the bricks by using waste plastic in the range of 65% to 85% by weight of laterite soil and bitumen as a binding material in the range of 4% to 12% by weight of soil. From the test results, it is found that the bricks are with negligible water absorption and satisfactory compressive strength in comparison with normal bricks 8 4) Author Name – Keerti M Nashimath , et.al, Published - 2016
Methodolgy 9 The main objective of this research work is to develop an efficient way to utilize the waste of plastic bottle which is a great threat for the sustainment of ecological balance. The plastic bottles waste was collected from Global Dynamic (M) Sdn Bhd located at Bukit Kor, Marang, and Terengganu, Malaysia. Three types of testing were conducted in this research work, which is compression test as per BS 5628: Part 1: 1992, water absorption test and efflorescence test as per CSA A82 standard. a) Compression test (BS 5628: Part 1: 1992 ) b) Water absorption test c) Efflorescence test (CSA A82)
This test is done to know the compressive strength of brick. It is also called crushing strength of brick. Generally, 3 specimens of bricks are taken to laboratory for testing and tested one by one. In this test, a brick specimen is put on crushing machine and applied pressure till it breaks. The ultimate pressure at which brick is crushed is taken into account. All five brick specimens are tested one by one and average result is taken as brick's compressive/crushing strength. 10 a ) Compression test (BS 5628: Part 1: 1992)
In this test, bricks are weighed in dry condition and let them immersed in fresh water for 24 hours. After 24 hours of immersion, those are taken out from water and wipe out with cloth. Then, brick is weighed in wet condition. The difference between weights is the water absorbed by brick. The percentage of water absorption is then calculated. The less water absorbed by brick the greater its quality. Good quality brick doesn't absorb more than 20% water of its own weight. 11 b ) Water absorption test
The presence of alkalis in bricks is harmful where it forms a gray or white layer on brick surface by absorbing moisture. To find out the presence of alkalis in bricks, this test is performed. In this test, a brick is immersed in fresh water for 24 hours. Then, it is taken out from water and allowed to dry in shade. If the whitish layer is not visible on surface, it proofs that absence of alkalis in brick. If the whitish layer visible about 10% of brick surface, then the presence of alkalis is in acceptable range. If that is about 50% of surface, then it is moderate. If the alkali’s presence is over 50%, then the brick is severely affected by alkalis. 12 c ) Efflorescence test (CSA A82)
It was concluded that properties of these fusion bricks depend on the percentage of plastic content. Compressive strength of the bricks increases with increase in percentage of plastic and Water absorption percentage decreases with increase in percentage of plastic content because of water resistant property of plastic and bitumen. It was also concluded that the 70% of plastic content was the optimum plastic content because the compressive strength of brick with 70% of plastic content by weight of soil with 2% of binder which is bitumen is 8.00N/mm2 which is higher than late-rite stone which has compressive strength of 2.16N/mm2 .And has a lesser water absorption percentage (0.48%) than laterite stone (14.58%). 13 Conclusion
1.Plastic sand wall in framed structures as a partition wall 2. Plastic sand benches in the parks 3 . Plastic sand tracks for running and jogging in place of concrete or stone tracks. 4 . Research on Composition of plastic with fly ash, Quarry dust etc 5. Mix Design and casting methodology may be further improved and studied for future. 14 Future Scope
