Strengthening brick filling walls with plastic waste material, flexible polypropylene and geogrid

This research includes the searching behaviors of walls which have been reinforced by using 190x190x85 bricks and also the walls which have built by same materials and reinforced by different methods. The mortar of the walls has mixed with the same ratio. Usage of cement and aggregate are shown in this thesis. 12 different sample has created by separating 3x4. The size of the samples selected approximately 820x820x90 mm. During this experience, the deformations of the each sample has measured by LVDT sensors. 3 sample occur this experience as unreinforced form and the others results have compared with them. 3 of the samples has reinforced by PVC material which also can call as white fiber mixing. Another type of the sample was 3 walls created by polypropylene. This reinforcing material can also call as Black fiber mixing. The last type of the samples has created by Geogrid systems. All of the types and each sample has experienced under diagonal stress. These experiences have done in İskenderun Technical University Laboratory and the stress occurred with a linear direction.
