Plastic-Sand Composite Brick Mechanical Properties from 47 Studies (2018-2025)

222 data points extracted from 47 peer-reviewed experimental studies on plastic-sand composite bricks published between 2018 and 2025. The dataset was compiled by Bonaventure Ezenwaka via a systematic literature review following PRISMA 2020 principles. It covers studies from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America.

Use Cases

• Conducting meta-analyses on the relationship between plastic fraction and compressive strength.
• Developing predictive models for composite brick density based on material composition and particle size.
• Performing replication studies by comparing new experimental results against a global benchmark.
• Analyzing regional trends in plastic waste types used for construction applications.

Strengths

• Systematic compilation from 47 peer-reviewed studies, ensuring a research-grade foundation.
• Explicitly records key experimental parameters like plastic fraction, compressive strength, and density for 222 data points.
• Covers a wide range of plastic fractions (5% to 100% by weight) and compressive strengths (0.78 MPa to 77.00 MPa).
• Documents geographic diversity, drawing on studies from four continents.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain statistical methods.
• Data may reflect publication bias inherent to the systematic review's source selection.
