INTRODUCTION
that is created by mixing binding material like cement or lime along with the
aggregates such as sand, gravel, stone, block chips, water, admixtures in specific
proportions. The strength and quality are dependent on the mixing ratios.
Concrete is a significant and useful material for construction work. Once all the
strong wall without mortar with the use of interlocking concrete blocks. Each
block is designed to have vertical holes which means, not only saving on the
number of materials used in its production but also allowing metal rods to be
role of the interlocking block system. Using traditional materials, the interlocking
wall. Some blocks are made with rims that slip by the rear edge of the leading
row; others depend on a system of joins. With the couple types, you don't have
interlocking block with crushed glass and crushed stone. The study primarily
aims to: first, identify the different aggregates of concrete used today and its
blocks with crushed glass as a substitute for crushed stone. Third, develop an
economic issues. Fourth, compare interlocking block with crushed glass, and with
crushed stone in terms of its compressive strength and water absorption. Fifth,
to find out if interlocking blocks with crushed glass can minimize the cost of
The result of this study will benefit the construction companies because it
will lessen their cost of labors and materials for their construction works. It will
be beneficial too for Don Amadeo Perez Sr. Memorial Central School West for the
output of this study is a study shed. This study will provide students of this
school a learning place. The findings of this study have the potential to enrich
the teaching approaches of the instructors in education for the students. Using
the interlocking concrete blocks provides a low cost of housing, which will be
beneficial to the community. Also, the students will benefit because the study
aims to discover what strategies they are going to use as their reference for the
learning process for the construction. The research reflected on the practices for
strength and design of interlocking blocks. It aims to give data that using
crushed glass bottle as coarse aggregate for interlocking blocks is a good quality
of aggregate. This study will also include testing and identifying the compressive
strength of blocks made of cement, sand, and gravel, and blocks with crushed
Due to the high cost of gravel in the market, this research of using
crushed glass will give a result that could be a substitute to minimize the cost of
output of the study. The chosen place for the output was in Don Amadeo Perez
