Experimental Studies on Assessment of Strength and Water Absorption Characteristics of Soil Cement Blocks
(2020-09-22T09:09:05Z) ABINAND, R; ASIF, J; SANDEEP, R; PAWAN KUMAR, GUPTA
We are going to mix cement with soil to increase the compressive strength of rammed earth blocks. During the experiment it was observed that with the increase in cement content the compressive strength of the rammed earth blocks also increased, flyash also was used in the increase in compressive strength. This paper is a review of the state of uses of clay bricks and stabilized compressed earth blocks. We offer an overview of the world general building using clay bricks or stabilized compressed earth blocks compiled from various research organizations, modern projects which have been carried out and reports from existing manufacturing of clay bricks or stabilized compressed earth blocks. Although, stabilized compressed earth blocks as construction materials are highly unknown to most people, its advantages are seen in terms of rescuing the heritage and also as rediscovered environmentally-friendly building materials.
