Abstract - In the age of sustainability it is necessary to prevent the depletion of natural sources to maintain the needs
and ecology. Hence, in the process of manufacturing bio bricks are widely used. The experiment was carried out at various ages of brick in order to determine the physical and mechanical properties of brick such as compressive strength , water absorption , hardness. The brick tested showed comparatively better properties then the conventional brick and hence the are good to be used in temporary constructions. The disposal of agricultural waste such as sugarcane bagasse as a raw material for bio brick production. The process involved the extraction of cellulose fiber from bagasse , followed by the integration of these fibres into binder matrix. The mechanical properties, thermal stability and environmental impact of the resulting bio bricks are assessed through various test including compressive strength analysis. The findings demonstrate the potential of sugarcane bagasse derived bio bricks as sustainable alternatives to conventional construction materials, offering both environmental benefits and economic opportunities for agricultural industries. Building construction is one of the fastest growing industries in India and it puts a huge burden on its limited natural resources.
Key Words: (Red Soil , Sandy Soil , Sugarcane bagasse , Compressive Strenght). 1.INTRODUCTION The bio bricks made up of sugarcane bagasse which are lighter then the traditional bricks and 15-20% less polluting in terms of emissions. Bio Bricks can cast walls directly on sites and as a wall or roof cladding pannel. It was found that bio bricks help to solve multiple issues of environmental air pollution, soil degredation and agrowaste disposals. Presently in sugar factories the bagasse is burnt as a fuel so as to their boilers. Instead, the sugarcane bagasse waste can be used as the construction materials.
2. OBJECTIVES
The bio-bricks is a sustainable building material from agricultural waste as an alternate to burnt clay bricks.
The product serves the dual purpose of waste management and development of eco-friendly, sustainable buildings.
Good insulation to heat and sound and helps in maintaining humidity in a building.
Waste materials from sugar mill can be converted in to construction material.
The bagasse ash brick’s compressive strength may be compared to the fly ash brick’s compressive strength.
Attain maximum strength.
Should be economical and Eco-friendly.
