Descripción
This study develops an innovative ´H´-shaped brick incorporating recycled thermoplastics (HDPE, LDPE, and PS) as aggregates to simultaneously mitigate plastic waste and reduce energy demands in social housing. Despite prior research on single-type plastic bricks, a critical gap remains in optimizing ternary plastic blends (HDPE-LDPE-PS) for synergistic mechanical-thermal performance in low-cost housing. Five mix designs were systematically evaluated to address this gap, following ACI 211.1 and IRAM standards. The optimal dosage (BP₃) achieved an axial compressive strength of 4.92 N/mm², a density of 958 kg/m³ , and a thermal resistance of 0.60 m²K/W, surpassing conventional clay bricks by 21 % in strength and 67 % in thermal insulation. Thermal simulations demonstrated minimum energy savings of 22 % (summer) and 17.5 % (winter), validating the brick’s dual role in waste valorization and energy efficiency. The findings highlight the potential of the ´H´ plastic brick as a sustainable alternative for low-rise social housing, combining mechanical durability with superior thermal properties—addressing a key limitation in existing studies focused on binary mixtures or isolated material properties. Future research should focus on long-term durability assessments, large-scale industrial validation, and integration with phase-change materials to further enhance performance.
