| dc.description.abstract | The fast expansion of global infrastructure activities is an apparent consequence of the
development. The focus is on eco-friendly alternatives, such as concrete bricks, for soil
bricks, in the context of sustainable construction. The aim is to explore the potential of
mitigating the carbon footprint and the depletion of natural resources through the use
of waste plastic, stone chips, gravel, and sand from Sylhet sand and river sand in
concrete blocks. This approach not only provides a durability alternative to traditional
materials but also helps tackle the plastic waste problem. It addresses some of the vital
issues like the overall impact of durability, structural performance, public perception,
compliance with standards, and regulations. Some building projects demonstrate the
viability of using plastic in concrete bricks. These constructions serve as examples of
innovative use of materials, economic efficiency, and enhanced strength. The findings
indicate that concrete bricks can serve for many constructions works - a clear progress
when compared to traditional construction materials. In general, this method seems to
solve the problem of building durable structures, and gives people an opportunity to
eliminate plastic waste in an environmentally friendly manner.
