INTRODUCTION
WATER BOTTLE AS BRICK IN CONSTRUCTION
PREPARATION OF BRICKS
CONSRUCTION PROCESS
Dig a cylindrical pit about 60cm in depth. The radius should be at least 10cm more than the length of the bottle that you are going to use for constructing the pillar.
Make a cement bed(about 4cm thickness)in the pit. Insert an long iron/steel rod at the Centre. Tie a long and strong thread to the rod. Now we are going to lay 10 or 11 bottles around this rod.
After building all the pillars, You are ready to make the platform.
Make an outline of your platform with chalk powder or any color powders.
Make a Clay bed about 5cm height and width 5cm .
Now lay the bottles (with their neck facing outwards) one by one on this bed and tie them to each other as shown in the picture. After laying a course, fill the inside area with cement, clay or rubble. This is to impart more strength to the structure.
STRENGTH The compacted sand in the bottles are almost 20
times stronger than the “BRICKS”.
DURABILITY The Plastic Bottles are re known for their
durability.
This type of construction is more durable than that of brick construction.
The Bottles can last as long as 300 years.
COST ANALYSIS The cost of this construction
can reduce 33% cost of the house made of concrete and bricks.
ADVANTAGES Low Cost Non-Brittle Absorbs abrupt shock loads Reusable Less Construction Material Easy to Build Green Building
DISADVANTAGES It Is Un-decomposable and In-destructible
When it is melted it releases a compound gas which is harmful to health and environment
It weakens the Ozone Layer
REMIDIES By using recycling process the un
decomposition of plastic can be reduced Scientists are now developing plastics that
are made from vegetable oil and other organic matter. This means the plastic is more likely to be degradable, and so it will be safe in future
CONCLUSION Everyone should recycle as much of
their waste as possible to prevent reusable materials being buried in land fill waste sites. Recycling does not cost anything, takes only a little extra time, and can make an amazing difference to the world
