Abstract. The purpose of this work is to inform & raise awareness for search different potential applications
for PET bottles, the Hypothesis proposed is to put PET bottles filling with sand into paved road holes with
the purpose of gain filling volume, correcting the hole and use the less quantity of asphalt in this process.
It is known from studies conducted by different instances that the vast majority of PET bottles of various
shapes have a high mechanical strength, low deformation. Previous studies show that the bottles for
carbonated drinks and mineral water meet these specifications well. It has also been shown that these
bottles increase their resistance significantly (up to 140%) to be filled with sand or polyethylene high and
low density, in addition to having a greater resistance to cyclic static loads (passage of cars by the same
point).
The test design that is intended to be tested, it is expected to have a deformation within a range of up to
20 millimeters and increase the useful life of the filled hole. The bottles must be in good condition since
most of their resistance is provided by the sand or plastic material confined inside.

Subsequently, simple compression tests were test object, the following formula should be
performed, these tests were performed with the applied: ΔL = Lo - Lf, where the initial length (Lo)
bottle lying down (See figure 4). will be 68 mm, which is the dimension that the test
piece presents before applying the load and The
final length (Lf) will be the dimension that the test
piece will present after the load has been applied.
