India, a developed country with a bounty of resources, has produced a large number of biopolymers that were employed in historical construction. If these biopolymers are proven through research to have positive aspects, it would eventually result in the development of environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and long-lastingstructures. Although many of the efficient inhibitors, like chromate and arsenate, are exceedingly poisonous, the price of inorganic inhibitors is generally inexpensive. As neem and turmeric extracts are readily available and may be obtained year-round in concrete, they should be further investigated as corrosion inhibitors in various ratios and combination. This experimental investigation can be used to provide a corrosion inhibitor that is affordable, non-toxic, eco-friendly, and user-friendly.The application of biopolymer in concrete has been supported by the results of the feasibility study, which additionally showed promising result for aexcellent corrosion inhibitor from the phytochemical analysis and results for compressive strength.

“…Bricks have been the fundamental and oldest construction material, with clay brick masonry being extensively used in India. The country produces approximately 250 billion bricks annually from approximately one million brick kilns, resulting in the depletion of nearly 600 million tonnes of clay soil each year (Kumarasamy et al 2022). Although red clay bricks are cost-effective and durable, their production has a substantial environmental impact as they consume and deplete environmental resources.…”

Alkali-activated bricks are considered a sustainable alternative in masonry construction. These bricks are produced by reacting the waste materials in an alkaline environment using alkali activators such as sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide. In this study, our objective is to explore the viability of manufacturing alkali-activated bricks using industrial waste materials, specifically by fly Ash, Paper Mill Sludge Ash (PMSA), and Crusher Sand Dust (CSD). To reduce the reliance on fly ash, alkali-activated bricks are manufactured by substituting PMSA in two different melds. The first meld is performed to optimize the PMSA and the second meld is carried out to optimize the Crusher Sand Dust (CSD) as filler material. Meld 3 is used to investigate the impact of the NaOH molarity of the bricks ranging from 6 M to 14 M for the optimum proportions obtained from Melds 1 and 2. XRD, FT-IR, TGA, and SEM analyses were carried out to understand the mineralogical and chemical characterization of the raw materials and brick specimens. Furthermore, various tests were conducted on the bricks to assess their physio-mechanical properties, following the relevant standards outlined in IS requirements. Overall, this study demonstrates the feasibility of producing alkali-activated bricks by utilizing industrial waste materials. These findings offer promising prospects for creating sustainable construction materials while effectively addressing the issue of waste disposal.
