Abstract
Construction industry is gradually increasing through the whole of the world and it is consuming natural resource raw materials for construction materials. Traditional way of producing clay brick without giving care for natural resource brought deficiency of natural resource. Now the days, plastics waste is the big challenge of the world on Environmental impacts and Alternative using High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic waste Brick for construction material is preventing environmental impact of plastic and in other hand saving natural resources clay soil. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic waste was collected from different sites it was thrown and before producing waste plastic Brick High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is cleaned, and the size is minimized as it was suitable for plastic waste Brick. After that Plastic waste Bricks were produced for different Tests. five sample of plastic waste Bricks were produced for compressive strength test. Mean Compressive strength of Plastic waste Brick was 24MPa which is satisfied as per Ethiopian and ASTM standard Class A and SW grade respectively and for dimensional tolerance test, ten waste plastic Brick were taken to check dimensional change. Waste plastic Brick checked for dimensional tolerance were the same with the standard dimension as per ASTM standard. Plastic Waste Brick is not recommended for kitchen, chimney and like walling Purpose due to it has low fire resistant and melted at low temperature.
Highlights
Brick is one of the most known and beautiful building wall material as the world for long for long period of time up to now [10]
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic waste was collected from different areas of Tepi Town and in order to make suitable for plastic waste Brick production, first unwanted material was removed from HighDensity Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic waste manually and properly washed to clean different chemicals previously packed in it and other things which affect while it was melt
Compressive Strength The aim of this test was to determine the compressive strength of plastic waste bricks and Compressive strength
Summary
Brick is one of the most known and beautiful building wall material as the world for long for long period of time up to now [10]. In nature plastic is a very hazardous materials which is not decomposed whether in the soil or water, due to this it is a huge problem in the world [5, 7]. In this moment, all very important economic sectors started from agriculture to packaging, electrical, building construction, automobile, electronics and communication sectors [1]. In the Tarekegn Belay Wendimu et al.: Suitability and Utilization Study on Waste Plastic Brick as Alternative Construction Material previous time Brick is produced from clay natural soil and there is imbalance between conventional buildings material and the need of the users. Plastic have many characteristics which include versatility, light-ness, hardness, and resistant to chemicals, water and impact [15]
