“…As a result, cement sand bricks, which were less expensive and required only sand, cement, and water to produce, were often used as a substitute for clay bricks. In Malaysia, cement-sand bricks were commonly used in low-and medium-cost housing and other commercial structures [1].…”

Besides concrete, bricks are the most fundamental building materials used in the construction of buildings, such as a partition walls. For cement-sand bricks, the used of sand as a main ingredient had triggered a big concern to the environment impact, a shortage of sand resources and the rise in the cost of the material. To address this problem, many researchers have been exploring the use of kenaf fiber as an alternative, renewable resource for fine aggregate in construction. This study is focused on the cement sand brick that containing kenaf fine particles. Due to its unique properties and availability, kenaf has gained much attention among researchers. The main objective of this study was to determine the optimum amount of kenaf fine particles as sand replacement in cement sand brick. Seventy-two brick of 215 mm x 102.5 mm x 65 mm has been produced. In this investigation, a brick with a cement sand ratio of 1:3 and a water-cement ratio of 0.4 with and without superplasticizer, and 0.5 has been tested. The replacement of kenaf fine particles was ranging from 10% to 30% by volume. The cement sand brick was tested to investigate mechanical parameters such as density, compressive strength, and water absorption capabilities of the brick. The results shows that 20% kenaf replacement gave an acceptable condition in term of strength and density.

“…Normal practice in Malaysia uses sand cement brick and clay brick as a common masonry unit to build a non-load bearing wall. However, sand cement brick is mostly used especially for low and medium cost housing [1]. The cost of producing the wall made of sand cement brick also reduced the total cost up to 47% [2].…”

In this study, the effect of replacing the river sand with industrial waste and cellulosic waste was investigated. The cellulosic waste use in this study only focuses on kenaf core, while the industrial waste use in this study is quarry dust. The fine aggregate formulation is adjusted with a different percentage of kenaf core. While the quarry dust is fixed at 50% replacement level. The water-cement ratio set for the formulation is 0.75, and the cement-sand ratio fixes at 1:8. The physical properties are measured through compressive strength and density at 28 days. The result shows that 10% is the maximum replacement of sand with kenaf core to produced brick that using 50% of quarry dust. The compressive strength value of the 10% of kenaf core at 28 days is 8.16 N/mm2 while for density is 1830 kg/m3 at 28 days. All the result shows that kenaf core has the potential to be used as a lightweight fine aggregate. But kenaf core needs to combine with other materials that contribute to the strength.

“…Waste treatment sludge is a hazardous waste produced from purifying water, which has been identified as a potential alternative ingredient in making bricks. Water treatment sludge has the potential to be used as bricks in many aspects of studies in terms of strength and durability as well as different methods used to produce bricks from waste materials (Hegazy et al, 2012;Keerthana et al, 2019;Rahman et al, 2019;Sheikh et al, 2017). However, little is known regarding the utilization of water treatment sludge as partial replacement of fine aggregate in sand cement brick.…”

The aim of the study is to investigate the potential use of water treatment sludge in brick properties as building material. The sludge was collected from water treatment plant and the percentages used in the mixes were 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% 15%, 20%, 40%, and 60% by weight of sand in brick. The specimen without sludge was prepared for comparison. The testing involved chemical analysis of sludges using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) technique. Testing of compressive strength was done for hardened state properties. The samples were cured at 7 and 28 days, and the average of three samples of brick samples was measured. The results revealed that the waste sludges had higher components of Zn, Cu, Pb, and As, which was trace element concentrations in the dry sludge samples. Comparisons in terms of strength were made from the control and brick containing sludge specimens. It was observed that sludge in brick performed better when mixed with 5% as partial replacement of sand. However, the more the addition of percentages of sludge in brick, the lesser the strength observed. It can be concluded that waste treatment sludge as a result from the process of water treatment can be utilized as partial replacement of sand in brick production.
