Predicting the compressive strength of polymer-infused bricks: A machine learning approach with SHAP interpretability.

The rapid increase in global waste production, particularly Polymer wastes, poses significant environmental challenges because of its nonbiodegradable nature and harmful effects on both vegetation and aquatic life. To address this issue, innovative construction approaches have emerged, such as repurposing waste Polymers into building materials. This study explores the development of eco-friendly bricks incorporating cement, fly ash, M sand, and polypropylene (PP) fibers derived from waste Polymers.
