Abstract
The research examined the physical and mechanical properties of extruded plastic lumber for civil construction applications. The tests addressed tensile strength, compression, bending, impact and hardness, together with the volumetric density of the material. The results indicated that these plastic woods possess adequate characteristics to resist significant stresses, loads and impacts, standing out for their ability to withstand adverse conditions in structural environments. In addition, it was demonstrated that the use of recycled plastics in their manufacture offers a sustainable and responsible alternative to conventional woods. These findings underscore the potential of extruded plastic lumber as a viable and efficient option for improving durability and sustainability in the construction industry.
