Strength and durability performance of masonry bricks produced with crushed glass and melted PET plastics
TL;DR: In this article, a rational approach towards exploiting the conversion of wastes to energy-efficient construction material was presented, where the produced waste masonry bricks (WMB) were tested for series of compressive and tensile strengths to evaluate the loadbearing capacity of the WMB under compression and tension in compliance with South African National Standard SANS 227.
