Experimental Investigation on Effective Utilization of Natural Wastes with Lime for Making Light Weight Bricks
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
In this modern era considerable attention has been paid to the utilization of alternative materials, which bear higher engineering quality than traditional materials and are financially affordable. With that in mind, a research was conducted to investigate the behavior of orange peel, eggshell, quarry dust in the bricks and limestone powder is added for binding property, the size of the bricks were adopted was (200x100x100) mm for manufacturing of lightweight bricks. For this effort two different mix proportions are used based on quarry dust and limestone with constantly adding of orange peel and eggshell to make the lightweight bricks. The research involved the preparation of two mix proportions, which are Quarry dust (5%) and without quarry dust with constantly adding of orange peel (1%) and eggshell powder (1%, 2%, 3%) is added to the weight of the clay. The experimental investigations respectively to investigate some properties like compressive strength, weight test, water absorption, efflorescence test, dimensional test, hardness, soundness etc., by conducting the different tests on prepared bricks. While using these waste natural resources to make bricks, it reduces approximately 50% weight of the brick. Therefore these bricks will reduce the dead weight of the structure to considerable amount. So it changes our design and building cost as in economical point of view. Finally the test results of innovative bricks are compared to the control bricks.
