Clay bricks are one of the prominent construction materials. Due to the usage of Bricks in abundance in construction sector and manufacturing of quality clay bricks from fertile raw materials, admixtures etc., the world is in need of alternatives to prevent the depletion of clay from agricultural lands.. The tannery sludge which is disposed as a landfilling material, is a potential substitute for brick making. In addition, bagasse ash with high silica content, which is a waste disposal from sugarcane industry wastes, might be incorporated with sludge in brick manufacturing. In this paper, an attempt has been made to manufacture Eco Brick made from tannery sludge and bagasse ash with clay. Tests were carried out on Eco Bricks manufactured from various composition of Sludge and bagasse ash and it has been proven to be an effective alternative material in construction industry.
In this study the properties of conventional brick compared with the brick made with Padobe. Padobe is a mixture of clay, paper pulp and water. Here we have added GGBS into this mixture. A composite material of the brick that having moderate physical and mechanical characteristics, which mainly helps the business industry like as construction. The addition of paper pulp and GGBS in clay helps in the reduction of environmental issues and cost of construction. Paper pulp is kept as constant and the other materials like clay and GGBS is done with various proportions such as 70:20:10, 60:3:10, 50:40:10 and 40:50:10. An experimental study has been conducted for optimize the mix of Padobe depending on the compressive strength.
