CASTING AND EVALUATING THE INTERLOCKING BRICKS USING ORGANIC WASTE MATERIAL.
***
Abstract Bricks are one of the most significant and major material used for all construction purpose. In many countries, Sludge waste especially, textile sludge is a serious problem which risks environment and human health. The textile sludge is used to make the construction bricks that serve as resolve for solid waste management.

1. INTRODUCTION
Population scenario comes towards India by means of increasing industries. The fruitful efforts of industries lead to the developmentofIndia.Astheindustriesincreases,sodoestheindustrialeffluents.Recentstudiesestimatethattheamount of industrial waste might amount approximately between 250 and 300 million tons emanating from chemical and agricultural process in India. It is very essential to dispose such wastes in an absolutely safe manner without disturbing the environment and human wellbeing. Build-up of unmanaged wastes particularly in developing countries has endangeredtheirenvironment.Inviewofthissituation,useofeconomicandenvironmental-friendlymaterialsisofagreat concernintheconstructionindustry.
The use of recyclable wastes as building materials looks like a viable solution not only to the pollution problem but also benefitstheeconomyintheformofcost-effectivebuildings.

2. METHODOLOGY
Collection of sludge
Crushing and grinding the sludge
Mixing of sludge with clay and adding sufficient water
Casting of bricks in interlocking mould
After drying, bricks are burnt Compression strength of bricks tested Interlocking bricks casted using mould
