STRENGTH of CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS with PLASTIC BOTTLE CORES by SEAN M. WONDERLICH B.S., Kansas State University, 2014 a THESIS STRENGTH OF CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS WITH PLASTIC BOTTLE CORES by SEAN M. WONDERLICH B.S., Kansas State University, 2014 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Architectural Engineering and Construction Science College of Engineering KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2014 Approved by: Co-Major Professor Kimberly Waggle Kramer, P.E., S.E. Approved by: Co-Major Professor Bill Zhang, PhD., P.E., S.E., LEED AP Copyright SEAN M. WONDERLICH 2014 Abstract Concrete masonry units are a common method of construction in the world. Since the masonry units can be constructed with ease. Fifty billion water bottles are consumed every year. Lack of waste management and recycling in third world countries has come to the attention of many organizations. The use of plastic bottles in construction materials has been around for the past twenty years, but with little focus on using full plastic bottles in the materials. The Engineers Without Borders student group on the campus at Kansas State University have found a way to utilize the full 500-mL plastic bottle in the creation of concrete walls. The bottles laid horizontally with concrete on both sides and as mortar between the bottles was used. These bottles create large voids in the wall decreasing the compressive strength of the wall. This thesis presents the results of a study conducted to determine the compressive strength of concrete masonry units with plastic bottle cores. The plastic bottles were used to create the center voids in the masonry units. Concrete was placed around the bottles to encase them in the masonry units. The study utilized 500-mL plastic bottles from five different water companies placed inside masonry units of 7.87-inch wide by 8.26-inch high by 15.75-inch long (200-mm wide by 210- mm high by 400-mm long) in size and analyzed the resultant compressive strength. The testing for compressive strength was determined according to the ASTM C140 standard. Results from this study were deemed reasonable due to the testing of concrete cylinders as a control compressive strength. Determination of the compressive strength of the concrete masonry units allows for further study to continue in concrete masonry units with plastic bottle cores to determine if they are viable in third world countries.

College of Engineering, Nagpur,Maharashtra, India 6 Shilpa Bankar Student, Department of Civil Engineering,Priyadarshini J. L. College of Engineering, Nagpur,Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT Our project proposes the use of waste plastic PET bottles as construction entity to standardised bricks. As plastics are non biodegradable its disposal has always been a problem. Waste plastic bottles are major cause of solid waste disposal. Polyethylene tetra phthalate is commonly used for carbonated beverage and water bottles. This is an environmental issue as waste plastic bottles are difficult to biodegrade and involves processes either to recycle or reuse. Today the construction industry is in need of finding cost effective materials for increasing the strength of structures. This project deals with the possibility of using waste PET bottles as a partial replacement. So, to decrease the cost of building materials here is a plan to build a house with PET bottle and binding material blast furnace slag .Bottle wall construction also avoids emission of gases like CO, CO2, SO2, NO, HCN as happened in manufacturing of bricks.

Some editing may be required to suit specific project requirements. This Section includes the terms "General Contractor", “Owner” and “Owner’s Representative” - edit these term as necessary to correspond to the individuals listed in the General Conditions of the Contract. PART 1 GENERAL 1.01 SUMMARY A. Description: 1. The work covered by this section includes the supply of concrete unit masonry. B. Definitions: 1. Admixture: Substance other than prescribed materials such as water, aggregate and cementitious materials added to concrete to improve one or more chemical or physical properties. 2. Ashlar: A masonry unit that is half the height of a standard unit. 3. Block (also concrete block): A solid or hollow unit larger than a brick sized unit. 8. Bond Beam unit: a U or W-shaped masonry unit, placed with the open side up to accommodate horizontal reinforcing and grout to form a continuous beam. Also known as a channel or lintel block. 5. Bull-nose units: a masonry unit with one or more rounded corners to soften corners. When there are two rounded corners on the same face of the block, it is referred to as a pilaster bullnose. When there are two rounded corners on the same end of the block, it is referred to as a double bullnose. 3. Concrete Masonry Unit: Hollow or solid masonry unit, manufactured using low frequency, high amplitude vibration to consolidate concrete of stiff or extremely dry consistency. 4. Efflorescence: A deposit of encrustation of soluble salts (generally white), that may form on the surface of the masonry unit when moisture moves through the masonry materials and evaporates on the surface.

Pandey1, Sakshi Gotmare2, Prof. S.A.Wankhade3 Students, Dept. Civil Engineering, JDIET, Yavatmal, India1, 2 Asst. Prof., Dept. Civil Engineering, JDIET, Yavatmal, India3 Abstract: Disposal of non bio-degradable substance has become an issue of major concern now a days. Mounds of plastic garbage has been created on earth surface. Laterite quarry waste is abundantly available and disposal of waste plastics (PET, PP, etc) is the biggest challenge. Only one in six plastic bottles are properly recycled .On other hand high cost of primary requirement for constructing the houses in places on where people are under poverty line is forming one of most significant problems of people. A suitable approach for this situation is using some part of urban rubbish or waste as required materials for building construction .Plastic bottle is considered as urban junk .but with sustainability characteristic it can be used as construction material instead of some conventional material such as brick in building construction. The paper intends to investigate the application of plastic bottles which is one of the urban waste in building construction and that how it can lead to sustainable development .It also mentions some ways for self standing and insulating them in thermal and sound point of view and some positive points which this material have versus others. Keywords: Plastic Bottle, Sustainable Material, Construction material, Innovative wall.
