Combine study of conventional bricks fly ash bricks and different percentage of bagasse ash bricks

Abstract

The rapid urbanization is creating a shortfall of conventional building construction materials due to limited availability of natural resources. On the other hand, energy consumed for the production of conventional building construction materials pollutes air, water and land. In order to meet the ever increasing demand for the energy efficient building construction materials there is a need to adopt cost effective, environmentally appropriate technologies and upgrade traditional techniques with available local materials. Disposal of agro-industrial solid waste in developing countries is a serious problem facing the world. The present paper explores the potential application of sugarcane bagasse ash as the ingredient for alternate sustainable construction materials. Based on the availability of agricultural waste materials, all the properties of sustainable construction materials are evaluated and used for environmental complementary works. The application of agro-waste for sustainable construction materials provides a solution which offers reduction in natural resource use as well as energy
