Not a structural engineer, but I thought that the beams are the load bearers, while the bricks are more of less just filling vertical space.

I think another interesting point to consider is cost. I watched a video a while back about a premise of using plastics for building roads, and in addition to the deformation/UV deterioration issues being brought up, another issue that was brought up was that concrete is cheaper than even the lowest quality recycled plastic.
