In order to utilize waste materials as building component, waste of thin plastics wrap and waste engine oil without and with rice husk ash as filler can be used for producing Plastic Wall Block (PWB). The objective was to evaluate the PWB engineering properties. The waste plastic wrap was shredded or cut off to sizes about 5-10mm. The waste engine oil without or with rice husk ash were heated at 200°C, then the shredded plastic poured into hot oil and evenly mixed. The mixture was casted in a metal mould and compacted at temperature of 125-110°C using a Marshall hummer for one blow to give even and flat surface shape then cooled down to form sample with average size of 100x100x80mm. It was obtained that the soaked compressive strength can exceed 25kg/cm2 which is the minimum value targeted, with initial rate of suction range about 0.0149-0.1012 kg/m2.minute; porosity in a range of 0.62-1.48 %, and water absorption of 0.0481-2.2185 %.

“…Biological binders in the form of powders also contribute to significant improvements in compressive strength. In a study by Venkatesh et al [89], blocks composed of soil, marble dust particles (MDP), and rice husk (RH) exhibited enhanced resistance. A composition comprising 70% soil, 30% MDP, and 1% RH resulted in compressed earth blocks capable of withstanding a compressive stress of 9.27 MPa.…”

This comprehensive literature review investigates the impact of stabilization and reinforcement techniques on the mechanical, hygrothermal properties, and durability of adobe and compressed earth blocks (CEBs). Recent advancements in understanding these properties have spurred a burgeoning body of research, prompting a meticulous analysis of 70 journal articles and conference proceedings. The selection criteria focused on key parameters including construction method (block type), incorporation of natural fibers or powders, partial or complete cement replacement, pressing techniques, and block preparation methods (adobe or CEB). The findings unearth several significant trends. Foremost, there is a prevailing interest in utilizing waste materials, such as plant matter, construction and demolition waste, and mining by-products, to fortify or stabilize earth blocks. Additionally, the incorporation of natural fibers manifests in a discernible reduction in crack size attributable to shrinkage, accompanied by enhancements in durability, mechanical strength, and thermal resistance. Moreover, this review underscores the imperative of methodological coherence among researchers to facilitate scalable and transposable results. Challenges emerge from the variability in base soil granulometry and disparate research standards, necessitating concerted efforts to harness findings effectively. Furthermore, this review illuminates a gap in complete lifecycle analyses of earthen structures, underscoring the critical necessity for further research to address this shortfall. It emphasizes the urgent need for deeper exploration of properties and sustainability indicators, recognizing the inherent potential and enduring relevance of earthen materials in fostering sustainable development. This synthesis significantly contributes to the advancement of knowledge in the field and underscores the continued importance of earth-based construction methodologies in contemporary sustainable practices.
