“…Another observation of cement as a stabilizer explained that the cement binder content in the mixture ranged between 4% and 10% of the dry weight of the soil [18]. However, if the cement binder content is greater than 10%, it becomes uneconomical for CSEB production [19].…”

The flow of water in the sub-soil tends to transport fine soil particles to other places. This happens, especially during heavy rains, where rainwater that seeps into the ground, flows carrying fine particles into the pond, and causes the soil surface to subside in certain parts. This encourages a study to be carried out to apply KOBEL bricks to overcome this. KOBEL bricks have 2 holes with a diameter of 5 cm, when arranged, they will form a pipe that can regulate the flow of water, so it does not carry fine grains that flow or are eroded. The simple concept of providing available water flow can prevent soil erosion and minimize the negative impact on soil subsidence due to water flow in the soil. KOBEL bricks are made from soil base material that is pressed up to 62.5%, applied as soil improvement, so that the soil surface becomes stable and does not sink anymore. From the results of the application of the KOBEL brick for the subsided soil surface, it turns out that the surface is no longer sinking. It can be concluded that the use of KOBEL bricks which is very easy to do and requires very low cost can be used to overcome soil subsidence due to water flow in the soil.

“…After the initial production of tensile cracks and shrinkage cracks, the natural fibers can be used to increase the ductility by slowing down the propagation of the tensile cracks. "Most researches adopted the testing technique for burned clay brick and concrete masonry block such as ASTM 1984, BS 6073-1:1981, BSI 1985 and Standard Australia 1997 to assess compressive strength" [32]. Indirect compression tests (such as flexural tests, rupture modules, and three-point bending tests) have been proposed as alternatives to the costly and time-consuming unconfined compressive tests.…”

“…The in-situ bending strength of the bricks can be assessed using these simple, affordable, and rapid indirect tests. "Walker and his most recent experiment claim that characteristics such the modulus of rupture, which is one-sixth of the compressive strength, may be used to create an unconfined compressive strength five times greater than the bending strength" [32]. The compressive strength of the CSEB brick also gets influenced by compaction.…”

“…Though CSEBs have high density, this is not considered as a major issue since the blocks are made at or near the building site and do not have to be carried for great distances. "According to BS EN 1745 (thermal conductivity and thermal resistance), ASTM C 518-91, and ASTM C 1132-89, compressed stabilized earth bricks' thermal value may be evaluated (thermal value)" [32].…”

The aim of the current research article is to provide a comprehensive review and discuss and conclude on two types of earth blocks i.e., stabilized compressed earth blocks and fire-burnt clay bricks. A direct correlation exists between the number of greenhouse gases emitted and the amount of coal used to manufacture the fire-burnt clay bricks. To address this issue, new construction materials have been developed. Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (CSEBs) is an enhanced earth-based masonry material as it is not burnt. CSEBs are manufactured by compressing the soil under pressure. Coal and other burning fuels are not used at any point in the manufacturing process of CSEBs. Environment-friendly and energy-efficient construction materials that encourage the sustainable development have grown significantly in the recent years, as the public have become highly conscious. Since the building materials are produced in local communities, the local resources are efficiently used, transportation costs get reduced and high-quality housing is made available to a large spectrum of people. Less time-consuming construction techniques and low labour demand results in increased strength, insulation and thermal characteristics, lower carbon emissions and embodied energy during the life cycle of the materials and exceptionally low levels of trash that can be easily disposed of. When locally-produced materials are used for building purposes, it creates jobs and is more eco-friendly, during the times of crisis. CSEB and conventional bricks require different amounts of energy and release significantly different amounts of carbon dioxide throughout the production process. A review of the construction process that utilizes clay bricks and CSEBs has been conducted using the data and reports from numerous research papers and organizations. According to this review, the Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks outperform the fire-burnt clay bricks in terms of advantages. When it comes to creating new environment-friendly construction materials, the CSEBs remain a viable option.

This study aims to determine the quality of red bricks in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia with the SNI 15-2094-2000 standard as a reference. The number of red brick samples is 405 from 15 districts. Tests carried out in the form of testing the appearance, size and tolerances, compressive strength, water absorption, and salt content. The results of the analysis of visible properties for uniform color were 80% of the sample, loud when hit 66.7%, 53% right angle, 86.7% flat, and 86.7% uncracked. For size and tolerance as much as 66.6% of the sample does not meet the standard, for an average compressive strength of 100% it does not meet the standard because it is below 5 MPa. The results of water absorption were only 1.9% of the sample which met the standard below 20%, and for the salt content of all.
