“…One instance of evaluation of modified strength like combined compressive strength, modified wrench test, and bond strength tests was found in the work done by Madurwar et al [37]. Salim et al [57] had performed a failure analysis in their loading tests, based on which a percentage crack development on failure was done. Bagasse ash has been predominantly utilized as auxiliary additive to cement or lime rather than a standalone stabilizer which may be due to the lower level of strength gains achieved when bagasse ash alone is used for stabilizing the blocks.…”

Valorisation of solid wastes in the manufacture of soil based building materials is one of the several technically feasible and costeffective solutions for waste management. Sugarcane bagasse ash is one such solid waste generated in huge quantities in India, a leading sugar producer. This paper aims at reviewing the valorisation of sugarcane bagasse ash in the manufacture of stabilized as well as sintered earth blocks. Sugarcane bagasse ash is a silica rich material that can play the role of an effective pozzolan leading to enhanced pozzolanic reactions resulting in better performing building materials. The reviewed literature reveals that it has been utilized in the manufacture of blocks as well as tiles in the form of an auxiliary additive as well as a primary stabilizer. However, its utilization in stabilized blocks has been more common compared to sintered blocks due to higher energy consumption in the latter. To summarize, sugarcane bagasse ash not only has improved performance in most of the cases but also has reduced the cost of the material, leading to the conclusion that its valorisation in manufacture of blocks and tiles is a genuine and highly productive solution for waste management as well as cost economy.

“…It is estimated that 30 percent of the world's population currently live or work in earthen structures [1,2] and the proportion rises to 36 percent in China. As an environmental friendly material, with superior thermal performance, lower cost, and abundant availability, earthen materials have been used in construction of shelters for thousands of years [3].…”

Single factor test was applied to study on the engineering properties of modified raw soil, by which the reasonable range of grass, cement, quick lime, and fly ash were determined. The effects of various factors on the bending strength of modified raw soil were studied by orthogonal test method, and the experimental results were analyzed. The experimental results show that the order of influence on the bending strength of modified raw soil block was glass A> cement C> quick lime D> fly ash B. Finally, the optimal mixture ration of modified raw soil was determined.

This research is aimed at using Snail Shell Powder (SSP) and Palm Kernel Shell Powder (PKSP) in stabilizing clay. Elemental and oxide compositions of the powders were determined and they revealed SSP is richer in CaO than PKSP. Sieve Analysis, Compaction, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Atterberg Limit were conducted on natural and stabilized soil mixture. The natural soil (A-7-6) was blended with SSP and PKSP at varying proportion of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% by dry weight of soil respectively and also combined at ratios not more than 10% total . Inclusion of additives increase the Maximum Dry Density (MDD) while it predominantly decrease the Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) values of the stabilized soil mixture. Plasticity Index (PI) decrease with the addition of the powders with the best performance observed mostly with SSP blended soil. It was also found that the CBR values of soil increase with corresponding increase in dosage of the powders. Soil blended with 8% SSP offered the best result with increase in MDD from 1198 to 1300kg/m 3 while the combined additives gave the best result at 2%SSP+8%PKSP addition with MDD increasing to 1266 kg/m 3 and further reduction of OMC to 21%. The best results in PI were from Soil blended with 2% SSP and also 2%SSP+8PKSP with 6.25% and 9.2% respectively. For CBR, soil blended with 8% SSP and 2%SSP+8PKSP of combined ratio gave peak performances. The potential of these additives in improving soil properties and reducing construction cost of road are presented.
