Utilization of Sugar Mill Waste for Manufacturing of Hollow Bricks Environmental Friendly
M.Tech., Department of Civil Engineering, Kamla Nehru Institute of Technology, Sultanpur, India
In India, bricks are usually made up of clay, which consumes a larger amount of clay and leads to topsoil removal and land degradation. To avoid these environmental threats, an attempt was made to study the behavior of bricks manufactured using waste materials from sugarcane industrial waste. The burned clay hollow brick is one of the most important and often-used building components in masonry construction for providing insulation against heat as the air acts as an insulator. Worldwide Burnt clay hollow brick production from waste materials would increase brick performance at cheap production costs, reduce the environmental burden brought on by waste deposition in open landfills, and promote more environment friendly building practices. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of adding waste from important crops-like sugarcane and other material like lime & cement. In this study, sugarcane Bagasse ash (SBA) is collected from a sugar mill that is situated in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Bagasse in the proportions of 20%, 30%, and 40%, Lime in the proportions of 4%, 8%, and 12%, and Cement in the proportions of 2%, 4%, and 6% have been used to make Clay hollow bricks in this study. Hollow bricks’ Compressive Strength and long-lasting qualities are also investigated.
