GREEN BRICK FROM SUGARCANE BAGASSE

Abstract

 Clay is the primary ingredient in bricks created in India, where they are typically made in tiny, traditional, unorganized businesses. Greater clay consumption during the brick-making process results in topsoil removal and land deterioration. An attempt was undertaken to investigate how bricks created from waste from the sugarcane industry behaved in order to prevent all of these environmental threats. The reduction of trash disposal costs and the depletion of natural resources could be facilitated by recycling such waste as substitute raw materials. Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SBA) with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Stabilized Bricks is the material of choice for this project. The brick was produced in dimensions of 19 cm by 9 cm by 9 cm. These blocks had the following names: (1:3) 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%; (1:4) 20%, 30%; and (1:5) 20%, 30%. SBA was then added by weight of dry soil, and the bricks were cured for a total of 28 days. Tests such as compressive strength, water absorption, flame, and soundness tests, among others, that meet the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) requirements while also taking budget into account.
