Abstract
Utilizing the industrial and agricultural wastes as a active raw material has been the prime focus for Researchers around the globe. Utilizing these by-products/waste materials can be beneficial in terms of cost savings in addition to addressing the issue of sustainability and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions. The present work was aimed at develo** eco-friendly unfired bricks termed as adobe bricks by utilizing agro waste from sugar mills which is termed as sugarcane bagasse ash. The study involved investigating the performance of adobe bricks mixed with sugarcane bagasse ash stabilized with cement. Locally available soil from North part of Bengaluru was used as part of this study. The adobe bricks were casted by varying the sugarcane bagasse ash in the range 0–60% at increments of 10%. Engineering properties of these adobe bricks such as compressive strength, water absorption, dry density, flexural strength were studied as per codal provisions. Mix with 30% blending of sugarcane bagasse ash in the adobe bricks showed good results and satisfied the codal provisions as per Indian standards.
