Abstract

Industrial waste disposal is undertaken for the well being of the environment. Soil blocks that are being tested consist of 60% of clay, 35% of sand and remaining consist of waste materials. The clay that is being incorporated is further tested so that it lies within the limit of IS specifications. The constituents are mixed, proportioned and placed in a standard brick mould. Then the soil block is sun dried and burned at kiln. Compression test, Flexural test, Water absorption test and Efflorescence are carried out on the obtained soil blocks. The results thus obtained are compared with that of the standard ones.

Keywords
