“…Lesser absorption was observed for bricks incorporating RHA as compared to bricks with SBA. Porous nature of SBA was considered responsible for such a behaviour [24]. Water absorption results of burnt clay bricks are also consistent with porosity results.…”

This study aims to characterize the clay bricks produced by the addition of the two agricultural waste materials i.e. sugarcane bagasse and rice husk ash. Disposing off these waste materials is a very challenging task and is a hazard to environment. The sugarcane bagasse and rice husk ash were collected locally from the cities of Peshawar and Wazirabad, respectively. These were mixed with the clay for brick manufacturing in three different proportions i.e. 5, 10 and 15% by weight of clay. Mechanical i.e. compressive strength and modulus of rupture and durability properties i.e. water absorption; freeze-thaw and sulphate resistance of these bricks were evaluated. Test results indicated that the sulphate attack resistance and efflorescence of clay bricks incorporating sugarcane bagasse and rice husk ash have been increased significantly. However, no significant effect on mechanical properties was observed. Furthermore, the additions of wastes have reduced the unit weight of bricks which decrease the overall weight of the structure leading to economical construction. Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of waste materials in brick manufacturing can minimize the environmental burden leading towards more economical and sustainable construction.

“…As a result, environmental pollution is increasing by these wastes. Different researchers have studied the utilization of RHA and SBA in clay bricks [1,[14][15][16][17]. Lighter bricks with improved thermal conductivity can be prepared by using agro wastes in brick production [18][19].…”

“…16 In another study, Singh et al (2000) reported 24% increase in standard consistency for mixture incorporating 20% of SBA compared to that of the control mixture without SBA. 24 Moreover, increase in setting time was observed for mixture incorporating SBA compared to that of the mixture 25 Furthermore, reduction in water release from paste can take place due to replacement of cement with SBA. Similar increase in setting time was also reported in previous studies.…”

Sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA) is a supplementary material widely used around the world for improving mechanical and durability properties of concrete. Main aim of this study was to examine the potential of SBA for controlling alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete incorporating reactive aggregates. SBA and reactive aggregates were acquired from local industry and quarry. Mortar bar specimens were cast to investigate various dosages of SBA (i.e., 10, 20, 30, and 40% by cement weight) for mitigating the alkali-silica reactivity expansion as per ASTM C1260. Petrography analysis of aggregates revealed the presence of deleterious minerals, which are prone to ASR. Strength activity index and thermal analysis results confirmed the pozzolanic activity of SBA. Mortar bar results showed 20 and 40% decrease in ASR expansion for specimens incorporating 10 and 40% of SBA by cement weight, respectively. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy analysis showed no sign of cracks due to ASR for specimens incorporating SBA. The improved behavior of specimens with SBA addition was due to alkali absorption and dilution process leading to low CaO/SiO 2 ratio, confirmed through energy disperse X-ray spectroscopy. Therefore, it can be envisioned that full-scale implementation of SBA addition in concrete mixtures could mitigate land filling of this by-product and lead toward the development of eco-friendly and sustainable technique for controlling the ASR associated damages in concrete structures.
