Effectiveness of
Plastic Wastes
as a material for
Hollow Blocks
3. Statement
of the
Problem
1. Is the use of plastic waste materials an effective
ingredient in enhancing the strength and durability of
hollowblocks?
2. Rampant and abundant throwing of plastic wastes is
one of the biggest problems of the country
3. According to a statistics in 2010, there are already
265 million tons of plastics produced having an
increasing rate of 5% in the past 20 years.
4. Objectives
1. To cite the advantages and disadvantages of hollow
blocks made out of plastic waste materials
2. To determine if plastics are suitable in making
construction material.
3. To determine the characteristics of concrete with
plastics additives.
4. To implement and develop alternative eco-friendly
hollowblocks for construction
7. Methodology
Building the hollow
blocks:
●Shred the plastics
●mix jt in the mixture.
● put it in the molder.
● remove it from the
mold let it dry from 14
to 21 days
Experimentation:
Checking for the
following factors:
1. Resistance to heat
2. Resistance to
different water
pressure
3. Durability and
strength

11. Statement of
the problem
1. Does the following qualities of a building affects the
student's performance in terms of
a. Size
b. Capacity
c. Indoor air quality
d. Interior design
e. Temperature and humidity
f. Lighting
g. Acoustics
h. Building age and aesthetics
2. At what school facility do the SHS students perform the
best?
3. What building qualities is required for the betterment of
SHS student’s academic performance
12. Objectives
1. To explore the relationship between student
performance and the physical condition of school
buildings structure and specific classrooms in
Columban College-Barretto.
2. For this to serve as a reference for the future
improvement and better building of facilities and
structures inside the campus.
3. To conduct further studies to prove and
strengthen the existing theories about the
correlation of building structures to students
academic performance
4. Know the qualities of a facility where students
excel the best in their performances
13. Materials
○ Survey questionnaires and forms
○ Different Facilities inside Columban
College Barretto
○ Summary report of the written
outputs and activities of students in
different school facilities
○ Laptop
14. Methodology
1. Conduct survey regarding on the performance of
SHS students in different school facilities.
2. Know the qualities of a facility where students
excel the best in their performances based on
their answered survey forms.
3. Interviews will be carry out with the students to
find out how the design, and different characteristics
of each structure affect their performance.
15. Methodology
●Data Collection Procedure:
1. Both qualitative and quantitative type of research
is to be considered in the data analysis of the
correlation of different structures of building to
Senior High Students’ Performance.
2. The data from the survey form will be sort out and
clustered according to the facilities preferred by
the students
