• This project aimed at preparation of construction material
(Blocks/Bricks) using green materials. The popular green
materials are coconut shell , copper sulphate, calcium carbide
residue, banana, glass and jute waste (natural fibers), coal
bottom ash, GGBS and etc.

• The project focus on the proportioning of various green

materials with natural subgrade available in the sourrounding
area.
Objective

• To develop a green material using industrial by products and

locally available resources for sustainable construction.

LITERATURE SURVEY
• F.R. Arooz & R.U. Halwatura (2018) investigated in Mud-Concrete is a novel
concept which employs a form of ‘Concrete’ produced using soil, cement and
water. The initial concept of developing Mud-Concrete was to incorporate both
the strength and durability of concrete into mud-based constructions to introduce
a low-cost, load-bearing wall system with easy construction techniques which
ensured indoor comfort while minimizing the impact on the environment. Here
the fraction of soil is fulfilling the role of aggregate in the material and low
quantities of cement will act as a stabilizer. Precisely the usable gravel range and
the gravel percentage governs the compressive strength of the material. The
considerable high-water amount is used for the hydration of cement and keep the
flow of this material. This excessive water amount is enhancing its self-
compacting quality, which is capable of self-consolidation, having the ability of
passing, filling and being stable without the need of any external forces.
Experimental test findings determined the mix proportions of Mud-Concrete
block as 4% cement (minimum), fine≤10% (≤sieve size 0.425mm), sand 55–60%
(sieve size 0.425mm≤sand≤4.75mm),gravel30–35%(sievesize4.75mm≤gravel≤
20mm) and water 18% to 20% from the dry mix. Findings further confirmed that
the durability of the Mud Concrete block satisfied the required durability
standards recorded in SLS 1382.
• P.Rajendra Kumar et al (2017) said about Expansive soil is one of the
major soil deposits in India they exhibit high swelling and shrinkage when
exposed to changes in moisture content and hence have been found to be
most troublesome from engineering considerations. So there is a need to
stabilize these soils when they are used for construction. In this regard, the
expansive soil properties are found out. To this soil, as a first
consideration, stabilized with copper slag adding at an interval of 5%
reaching up to 30%. In second consideration, fly-ash is selected as a
stabilizing agent to stabilize the expansive soil at an interval of 2%,
reaching up to 10%. In the last consideration, sample of expansive soil
with 30% copper slag is taken to be stabilized with fly-ash at an interval of
2%reaching up to 10%. Finally regression analysis for these test results is
carried out.

• R C Gupta et al (2016) investigated about Industrialization
extremely demands to the uplift of nation’s economy. However, it
causes severe Environmental Pollution due to the generated waste
materials. As the non-renewable raw materials for industrial
production are dwindling day-by-day, efforts are to be made for
conversion of these unwanted industrial wastes into utilizable raw
materials, which in turn controls environmental pollution. Copper
Slag is one of the waste byproduct produced by ‘Hindustan Copper
limited’, Khetri, Rajasthan, India. The production of Copper Slag is
120-130 lakh ton per annum. Expansive soils are a worldwide
problem that creates challenges for Civil Engineers. They are
considered as potential natural hazard, which can cause extensive
damage to structures if not adequately treated. The disadvantages of
clay can be overcome by stabilizing with suitable material. This
research was done on the engineering behavior of Clay when
stabilized with Copper Slag
• Dinesh.A et al (2017) said about Black cotton soil which is one of the
major soil deposits in India becomes highly problematic because of its
property of higher degree of swelling and shrinkage. These soils are
used in subgrade of pavement and also in construction of structures.
Hence in order to improve the properties of such soils many methods
are available like soil stabilization, soil replacement, moisture control,
prewetting etc. In recent years, soil stabilization by using various
minerals like quarry dust, saw dust, copper dust and fly ash were most
commonly used. These solid wastes are day by day increasing in India,
which is not environmental friendly hence they have to be recycled.
Thus, a review is presented to make use of those wastes in soil
stabilization. In this paper, the study mainly focuses on stabilization of
soil using solid waste. To understand the performance of stabilized
soil, its properties like Atterberg limits, compaction characteristics,
swelling, shear strength, CBR value and other Index & Engineering
properties were discussed.

• Rakesh D R et al (2019) said about the indiscriminate infrastructural
growth is leading to rapid environmental degradation. Sand, cement,
coarse aggregate for manufacturing of bricks and used for large
construction activities are energy intensive as well as causing
environmental pollution during their entire life cycle. In order to
quantify the energy and savings potential by applying best available
technologies like Stabilized mud blocks for engineering applications.
Even though the strength of SMB is less compared to cement blocks,
we can use the SMB by stabilizing it by using cement, lime. But in
this project we are trying stabilize the blocks by using waste
materials like GGBS and Alccofines. In this study we are utilizing
the behavior of Stabilized Mud Block with alccofines and GGBS by
conducting various tests like the compressive, water absorption and
weathering test. We can use the stabilized mud blocks for non-
structural elements as it meets the strength requirements as per IS
codes. And these blocks are purely eco-friendly as it is made up of
waste materials.
ENVINONMENTAL FRIENDLY

• These blocks are affordable for all at very low cost than
conventional bricks .
• These block are manufacture In-situ with the soil available in
the site and the waste materials .
• Our motive is to make aware of these block mainly in villages.
