| description | The intent of the present research work is to explore the prospect of replacing natural soil used in brick making by some extent with industrial waste, that is, lime mud, as obtained from paper mill waste. Extensive adoption of this mill waste as a brick making material will deter the environmental effects of this waste disposal. Moreover, its adoption will not only solve the problem of stocked waste piles but also scale down the usage of natural soil as a brick making material. In consideration of the central intend of this study to utilize industrial waste as an alternate raw material, yet another industrial waste—fly ash, has also been blended to the mix to manufacture unburnt bricks, such that, it may produce cementitious compounds with lime mud. So, the materials used for brick making in this study are: lime mud, collected from the dumping site of M/s Hindustan Paper Corporation Limited, Jagiroad, Assam, India; soil, collected from a brick manufacturing unit also near Jagiroad; and fly ash, collected from National Thermal Power Station, Badarpur, Delhi, India. The materials have been characterized with respect to their chemical and geotechnical properties. Then, experiments have been conducted on hand-moulded bricks of aforementioned mix in distinct proportions. In this study, all the bricks have been dried in the natural condition and then tested for compressive strength conforming to International standards. It has been duly noted that none of the treated unburnt bricks satisfies the requirements of standard codes. Nonetheless, in case of burnt bricks, the compressive strength satisfies the requirements of International standard codes wherein lime mud has been added up to a certain percentage (=20%) in soil-lime mud mix. |
