“…The compressive strength of the cubes at the 28-day mark the strength requirement for all three replacement percentages. The study identified that the most favorable outcome was achieved when 25% of the cement was replaced with PJA, resulting in improved compressive strength at 3, 7, 14, and 28 days [Shyamala et al 2020].…”

<p>The infrastructure of the country heavily depends on the construction material concrete. The primary ingredient in conventional concrete is cement, fly ash, or another cementitious substance. The need to explore alternative sources is driven by the challenges posed by global environmental warming, which stems from widespread factors, and the escalating costs associated with the extraction of cement from quarries. To replace cement, sand, and aggregate, numerous research investigations have been conducted. The Prosopis Juliflora Ash (PJA) as an additional cementitious component in cement mortar and concrete are examined in this experimental study. The amount of cement produced in the nation will decrease if Prosopis Juliflora (PJ) ash is used as an additional substitute. It will also encourage the use of sustainable materials for concrete and mortar. The objective of this research is to investigate the impact of incorporating PJA as a binding agent on the compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of both concrete and cement mortar. In this research, Prosopis Juliflora Ash (commonly known as Seemaikaruvelam) was employed to substitute cement in both cement mortar and concrete, with varying proportions of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%.According to the results of this experiment, 30% of PJA has the requisite strength qualities. This experimental investigation provides valuable insights into the mechanical characteristics of concrete and mortar incorporating PJ ash and emphasizes its potential as a sustainable alternative in the construction industry.</p>

“…In this work the compressive strength of paver blocks incorporating Prosopis juliflora (PJ) ash as a partial-replacement for cement was investigated. The aim was to assess the effect of varying levels of PJ ash content on the crushing strength of the paver blocks and compare it with conventional paver blocks without PJ ash (Shyamala et al, 2020;Sarala, 2008).…”

<p>The use of Prosopis Juliflora (PJ) ash as a supplementary replacement for cement in paver block production presents a promising sustainable solution for the construction industry. PJ is an invasive plant species that poses significant environmental and socio-economic challenges in many regions. This research paper explores the feasibility and potential benefits of incorporating PJ ash as a supplementary cementitious material in paver blocks. The study investigates the mechanical, durability, and environmental aspects of the paver blocks with differing levels of PJ ash content. The results demonstrate that the incorporation of PJ ash in paver blocks not only diminish the environmental impact but also escalate their mechanical and durability properties. This research contributes to sustainable construction practices by promoting the utilization of waste materials and addressing the issues associated with invasive plant species. By weight of cement, PJ ash is utilised in quantities of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%. In this study, Prosopis Juliflora Ash (PJA), which has a specific gravity of 3.00 and a mean particle size of 35 micron, was utilised to partially replace cement. As a result, it can be concluded that the inclusion of PJ ash up to a certain replacement level (15%) can enhance the mechanical properties of the paver blocks. However, beyond this replacement level, a slight reduction in strength was observed. These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanical properties of paver blocks incorporating PJ ash and emphasize its potential as a sustainable alternative in the construction industry</p>

“…Nonetheless, these compromise the structure's serviceability because any gaps in the brick walls cause occupants to question the structure's safety [6,7]. Fly ash and normal clay brick comparison Fly ash bricks have a uniform, lovely colour akin to cement, but regular clay bricks vary in colour depending on the soil [8][9][10]. Standard clay bricks have an irregular appearance since they are handmade; Fly ash bricks, on the other hand, have a uniform shape and a smooth polish.…”

The research of the mechanical behaviour of reinforced and cavity wall brickwork is the focus of this paper. In this paper, the casting of specimens are done manually and totally 18 specimens are prepared. The different proportions were followed for casting the bricks and specimens. The bricks used are red bricks, fly ash bricks and solid bricks. Conventional method of casting is done using mortar and casting of reinforced brick prism is done with red bricks, fly ash bricks and solid bricks. The cavity wall is constructed and finally the compressive strength is estimated for the reinforced and cavity wall brickworks. The obtained compressive strength for various bricks is plotted in the form of graph to interpret the exact results and comparison is drawn for all types of bricks used.
