Abstract

The bricks are important basic material for constructing actions and establish about 15% of the total construction material cost. Many problems challenged by the recent brick production have of shortages, cost of materials, and environmental effects of making. There is very less information that is obtainable to fix the possibility of addition agro-industries waste to brick manufacturing. Hence, this paper is about effort on the reprocessing and reuse of the agro-industries solid waste for the manufacture of Cement Bricks (CB). In this work, an effort has been made to combine wastes into the making sustainable bricks using cement, Bagasse Ash (BA), and Rice Husk (RH). The replacement levels of cement and BA like 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60% with 20% of RH to mix proportion. CB size of 230 × 80 × 110 mm was prepared. This paper grants a detailed study on compressive strength, efflorescence test, and water absorption. Intention to produce cost effective and high strength bricks than the clay bricks. Agro-industries waste material acts as a fluxing mediator within the CB. The RH and BA bricks are relatively less in weight and stronger than normal clay bricks.
