“…It is observed that regardless of the percentage of lime adopted, when the percentage of press mud incorporated is increased, the optimum moisture content increases while the maximum dry density decreases. A similar trend has been observed (Saini et al, 2022). This is possibly due to the nature of press mud that possesses good water-holding capacity.…”

Peat soil is typically classified as a problematic soil due to its expansive behaviour that possesses geotechnical drawbacks. Thus, the condition of peat soil must be improved prior to any construction works. Stabilisation of peat soil can be done via chemical stabilisation and alkaline activation while incorporating industrial by-products or wastes as addictive. This study aims to investigate the effect of press mud as an additive in lime-stabilized and alkaline activator-stabilized peat soils. Press mud is a by-product of sugarcane juice filtering. The lime adopted is at 3 % and 5.5 % while the alkaline activator is used in cold and warm condition. A total of 5 percentages of press mud have been employed, namely 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1% and 2%. The investigations revealed that regardless of the percentage of lime adopted, the optimum moisture content increases while the maximum dry density decreases when the percentage of press mud incorporated is increased. However, when the lime content is increased, the optimum moisture content increases significantly. The UCS of lime-stabilised peat soil sample achieved the greatest strength improvement when the lime and press mud is used at 5.5% and 0.25%, respectively. In contrast, the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of 3% lime-stabilised peat soil samples with or without press mud shows comparable 28-day strength. On the other hand, the UCS of peat soil stabilised with alkaline activator shows significant improvement, while addition of press mud further improves the strength. Nonetheless, using warm alkaline activator improves the early strength development but cold alkaline activator results in higher 28-day UCS.

The construction industry in Malaysia is currently witnessing sustained expansion, as seen by the rising demand for residential properties, commercial structures, and other infrastructures throughout our country. Therefore, the present study seeks to identify suitable materials and proportions for manufacturing lightweight bricks utilizing industrial waste materials. This study investigates the feasibility of using pressmud, a sugarcane refinery waste, as a fine bio-aggregate for the production of construction materials. Binary blended cement-pressmud bricks were formed by mixing Ordinary Portland cement with pressmud at various weights percentages (50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10%). Various experiments were undertaken to investigate and compare the characteristics of pressmud bricks and commercial sand bricks. The experiments focused on density determination and compression tests (standard brick). The compression tests demonstrated that cement-pressmud bricks with a weight ratio of up to 20% exhibited a compatible strength to standard brick, with values ranging from 17.16 MPa to 23.01 MPa. The pressmud bricks exhibited reduced weight, with 10% and 20% variants weighing 17-23% less than the standard brick. Thus, it can be concluded that pressmud possesses significant potential as a bio-aggregate for producing lightweight and cost-effective construction materials when used in appropriate proportions.
