dc.description	The 4th International Conference on International Conference on Advances in Civil Engineering is a peer-reviewed journal that is published annually one or two in a volume. ICMERE publishes original, unpublished, and review articles, in English on all aspects of research and technology in Mechanical Engineering.	en_US
dc.description.abstract	Plastic is a non-bio-degradable substance which takes thousands of years to decompose that creates land as well as water pollution to the environment. This study aims to evaluate plastic to use as building blocks. Selection of plastic from different sources and then melted it to give a form of a brick for charactering its suitability for building material. The study showed that the brick made form plastic waste has the Potential to be used as a brick having average compressive strength 4 N/mm2, water absorption less than 1%, nil efflorescence effect. Also hardness, fire resistance & soundness respectively are observe as high quality, good & gives ringing sound which indicates that it could be used as a compressive block. In comparison to normal clay brick the plastic made brick can be used as civilian brick replacement.	en_US
