Description
Infrastructure development is one of the major component in fast growing countries. Development and construction of high raise buildings like apartments, shopping malls, industrial complex, estates etc. needs more quantity of construction materials. As we are exploiting our material resources, it is necessary to reduce usage of natural resources and hence we have to increase the usage of non-degradable solid wastes as construction material. Based on this consideration, in this research work we are using alum sludge and granite powder with clay for manufacturing of bricks. Large amount of granite powder are producing from granite polishing industry and alum sludge are produced from water treatment plants. We have manufactured bricks with various percentage of alum sludge and granite powder with clay. The strength of the bricks were tested and the bricks were classified accordingly.
