“…In Nigeria, Onyelowe [16] observed an increase in the bearing properties of lateritic soil with an increase in sugarcane bagasse ash. This was also supported by Alavez-Ramirez et al [17], who concluded that an addition of 10% lime and 10% Sugarcane Bagasse Ash significantly improves the durability and mechanical properties of compacted soil bricks. The use of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash as fertilizer [18] also suggests that compressed soil stabilized with Sugarcane Bagasse Ash can still find application in agriculture after demolition.…”

“…The compressive strength increased with the Sugarcane Bagasse Ash content such that a 10% Sugarcane Bagasse Ash stabilization increased the compressive strength by 65%. This could be attributed to the progressive densification of the soil/Sugarcane Bagasse Ash matrix as a result of hydration and pozzolanic reactions [17] (pp. 296-305).…”

Abstract:The need for affordable and sustainable alternative construction materials to cement in developing countries cannot be underemphasized. Compressed Earth Bricks have gained acceptability as an affordable and sustainable construction material. There is however a need to boost its bearing capacity. Previous research show that Sugarcane Bagasse Ash as a soil stabilizer has yielded positive results. However, there is limited research on its effect on the mechanical property of Compressed Earth Brick. This current research investigated the effect of adding 3%, 5%, 8% and 10% Sugarcane Bagasse Ash on the compressive strength of compressed earth brick. The result showed improvement in its compressive strength by 65% with the addition of 10% Sugarcane Bagasse Ash.

“…It can also be seen that the higher the chemical content in the block the better the compressive strength of the compressed earth blocks. This is consistent with the results of previous studies [13,[29][30] with cement as stabiliser in soil blocks. The test result of One-Way RM ANOVA (p-value = 0.001) for all chemical contents between the stabilised and unsatbilised blocks suggests that there is significant difference in the compressive strength test on the 28-day curing.…”

Soil blocks are usually stabilised with cementing materials, fibres or chemicals to improve their performance properties for construction purpose. This study investigates the properties of compressed earth blocks stabilised with a liquid chemical (Pidiproof LW+). Experiment was conducted using 0.5, 1 and 1.5% weight contents of Pidiproof LW+ to produce compressed earth blocks and cured at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. The blocks were tested for density, absorption coefficient, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. It was found that with the exception of density test, the chemical inclusion in the other tests significantly improved the performance properties of the compressed earth blocks. Furthermore, the higher chemical content (1.5%) inclusion in the compressed earth block provided better performance properties. The paper concludes that the inclusion of the liquid chemical in the compressed earth blocks generally improved the performance properties of the blocks. Recommendation is made to the use of other chemicals for applicability in earthen construction.

“…However, the block prepared with 12% of cement and 8% of sugarcane bagasse ash have potentials to be used as non-structure masonry component. Montes-Garcia et al [39] analyzed the use of lime and sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) as chemical stabilizers in compacted soil blocks. The results indicate that blocks manufactured with 10% of lime in combination with 10% of SCBA showed better performance than those containing only lime.…”

Abstract. The growth of industrialization and development of urban life made an increase in demand for cement, concrete and bricks. Exploitation on the non-renewable natural resources for raw materials will keep increased in order to meet the demands for construction materials. At the same time, the problems regarding the agricultural crop wastes such as rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, palm oil fuel waste and elephant grass has become an important issue nowadays. Consequently, there are many researchers who have been studying the viability of using these agricultural wastes as construction materials to meet the industry demands in order to decrease the current use of non-renewable natural resources. This paper reviewing on how agricultural waste could be utilized as replacement materials for construction activities from various researchers. The idea of using agricultural crop wastes was promoted by studying upon their engineering properties. This paper focusing on the compressive strength of the construction materials containing agricultural crop wastes, which was the common parameter considered by most researcher as required by various standards.
