“…The purpose behind using this kind of aggregate was to explore its potential for being used in Litracon blocks. Most of the related literature pertaining to Litracon involved either the use of only fine sand for mortar-based ones [5], [6], [27] or fine sand and gravel [28] for structural concrete. Hence, this present study intended to contribute new knowledge by exploring the possibilities of using coarse sand for Litracon blocks.…”

Living up to a culture of sustainability and efficiency, the Light Transmitting Concrete or Litracon came to its prominence recently. Aside from that, the increase in the production of cement for building structures to facilitate various social dynamics has contributed to the world’s exponentially increasing carbon emissions. Thereby, this study acts upon both phenomena by partially replacing the cement in the concrete mix for producing Litracon blocks using an agricultural waste material called Sugarcane Bagasse Ash or SCBA while aiming to improve their structural performance. The study used five (5) mix designs of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% replacements, and a controlled mix with no replacement. Three (3) cubic samples of 150 mm side dimension for each mix were subjected to the light transmissibility test before the compressive strength test. Results showed that the illumination values in lux of 103 to 120 were at par with the Philippine illumination guidelines for interior rooms, from 100 to 150. Moreover, the highest recorded compressive strength result with SCBA percentage replacement was the 5% design mix at 28.81 MPa, and the 2.5% design mix had the lowest recorded compressive strength of 23.51 MPa. The results further showed that even with no significant relationship between the percentage replacements and compressive strength values from the two-tailed T-test, no significant difference between such strength values was found using the One-way ANOVA test. Thus, this supports the claim that SCBA can partially replace the cement used for the concrete mix of Litracon blocks.

Bricks are manufactured using clays, which are fired at temperatures ranging from 1000 to 1200 °C. Due to the lack of quality clay, it is necessary to find alternate soils and waste materials for manufacturing bricks. The use of agricultural, aqua-cultural, and industrial wastes in the manufacturing of construction bricks leads to low-carbon material. This addresses the problem of agro-aqua-industrial waste disposal. The present study focuses on the utilization of biomass (BM) and slaked seashell powder (SSP) in compressed soil bricks made with locally available lithomargic soil (LS). The proposed soil bricks are prepared with 85% processed lithomargic soil, 12.5% biomass and 2.5% seashell powder. The reaction of multi-binder materials has been activated by one-part activation. The cast soil blocks are temperature cured at 100 °C, 250 °C, 500 °C & 750 °C to understand the effect of temperature on the hydration process of binder material. The compressed soil bricks are tested for compressive strength, initial rate of absorption, water absorption test, chloride content, sulphate content, microstructure analysis and thermal conductivity. The strength of soil bricks in bonding and in masonry, 3 prism and 4 prism tests were also conducted. Overall results indicate that bio-based alkali-activated brick masonry is superior for real-time adaptation because it reaches 10 MPa to 11.2 MPa compressive strength and 0.98 MPa to 1.2 MPa shear strength with curing at 500 °C.
