Abstract

The growth in various types of industries has resulted in enormous increase in production of various types of waste material. These creating pollutions to environment, it makes the effect to our day to day life .To reduce this problem, Glass bottles are used in our project. The present study investigates the potential use of water glass bottles with cement mortar to deal the problem as a strength modified in cubical cement mortar brick. The glass bottles filling with cement mortar can be used for bricks manufacture. Our study evaluates the compressive strength comparison of cement mortar brick with glass bottles to conventional cement mortar brick. The work consistent of one experiment approach towards waste glass bottles & use the material in mortar bricks. To simulate with the field crediting compressive strength test is carried out by taking number of sample. The result shows better compressive strengths with substantial saving in cost.

Most of the bottles were Busch beer bottles collected from the 50 bars in this Gold Rush town. Rhyolite became a ghost town by 1920.
