Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to incorporate
waste products in the construction sector for sustainable
and environmentally friendly production. The following
investigation provides an alternative way of utilizing
quarry waste in the construction industry. In this study
clay bricks are produced using granite and marble
slurry waste. Different mix proportions are prepared
and bricks are cast. These brick samples are tested for
compressive strength and water absorption based on IS
code and an optimum percentage of replacement is
obtained. The results showed that 10-15% replacement
gives maximum compressive strength and minimum
percentage of water absorption.
Keywords :
Brick, Clay Brick, Granite Slurry, Marble Slurry.
