Abstract: OCAMPO, KRISTINE JOY V. and PAMPLONA, JOREN A., Utilization of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Bottles as Binder for Making Bricks. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. Cavite State University. Indang, Cavite. April 2015. Adviser: Engr. Larry E. Rocela The main objective of the study was to determine if Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Bottles can be used as a binder for making bricks. Specifically, it aimed to study the physical and mechanical properties of bricks made with melted PET bottles as its binder. Different tests were performed in evaluating the mechanical properties of the innovated product. These tests include compressive strength analysis, water absorption, efflorescence, structure, soundness, and hardness test. The cost of brick per piece was also determined in the study. With respect to physical properties, all bricks produced by utilizing PET bottles as its binder appears to be light brown in color on its exterior surface but the interior after being examined was light grey. With respect to mechanical properties, all bricks produced by utilizing PET bottles as its binder passed the minimum requirement of 3.45 MPa or 500 psi for compressive strength of non-load bearing masonry units. In terms of water absorption, bricks had a notable result of less than 1%. Other properties of bricks were attained making it a good quality brick. With respect to cost, the bricks produced by utilizing PET bottles as its binder has a relatively close cost when compared to commercial brick (8 4” x 4” x 2”) which costs Php 20.00.
