A light weight concrete block using granulated corncob as an aggregate is investigated in this research work.
Considering corn cob after removing the corn is said to be agricultural waste. Finding practical uses of this waste for
manufacturing concrete block may preserve the environment and also allow green technologies. These concrete blocks are
studied in terms of compressive strength, water absorption, density and unit weight were experimentally studied. The results
obtained are submitted which shows that corn cob blocks have sufficient material properties for non-structural application in
building for construction of partition walls. This is the alternative for blocks in expanded clay, expanded polystyrene, particles of
cork, coconut coir etc. In this research a clay brick is compared as a reference block or control block.
