Buildings built by ancient civilizations like the Mesopotamians and Egyptians were made of clay and other materials, and the use of stabilized soil for construction dates to those times. On the other hand, the scientific underpinnings of soil stabilization were not established until the early 1900s. In comparison to conventional building materials, the use of stabilized soil-based construction materials, such as soil stabilized mud blocks, can offer several advantages, such as improved strength and durability, less of an adverse effect on the environment, and lower costs. The world is facing an issue that calls for the disposal of inorganic solid waste to be addressed right away. This solid waste that is produced when old buildings are demolished is frequently classified as industrial waste or C&D waste. In India alone, enormous amounts of waste are produced, very little of which is recycled. When modifying the properties of stabilized soil, this C&D waste can be used in place of soil or quarry sand. This work explores the use of a stabilizing agent in conjunction with combined C&D waste for soil sampling. The studies use combined C&D waste and soil stabilized mud blocks to test the hollow blocks' water absorption capacity and strength for various replacements. The materials needed for the study came from nearby structures that had been demolished. Using mortar, cylindrical samples for 32 different ratios of mixed construction and demolition waste with a 9% cement content were cast for various compositions. To determine whether the stabilized samples were suitable for use in construction, tests were conducted on their compressive strength and water absorption properties. Based on the least compressive values found in cylindrical samples, the C&D waste was used in ratios ranging from 0% to 100% in place of soil. Mud blocks stabilized by soil were poured and examined for durability, strength, and mechanical qualities. In this study, an effort was made to use C&D waste—that is, brick and concrete waste—in varying amounts to create cylindrical samples that could be used to create concrete and stabilized mud blocks. In order to create cylindrical samples, different ratios of brick waste, concrete waste, and brick-concrete waste were used for 23 mix proportions. Cylindrical samples were manufactured using a cement content of 9 and 12%. These samples' mechanical and physical characteristics, such as their compressive strength, water absorption capacity, and initial rate of absorption, were investigated.

Soil-cement brick is one of the most common building materials for masonry construction, although it is not the oldest. As it is a product made up basically of soil and cement, it has existed in Brazil since the appearance of cement. The brick has been gaining market share due to several characteristics: ease of production, as it can be produced at the construction site itself, ease of obtaining raw material, as the soils exist in all locations, low processing costs, and easy handling. In addition, the soil-cement brick, also called ecological brick, stands out for not harming the environment like the ceramic brick that needs to be burned. Despite being a standardized product, production procedures and properties need to be updated. As an example, the soil used is very coarse which makes it difficult for the components to react. After conformation, the cure is still carried out without humidification, not obtaining adequate resistance. Furthermore, durability has been little studied. Thus, this article presents a literature review based on research in the production of soil-cement bricks. Materials and research methods used in the process of making soil-cement bricks, as well as various properties, are discussed. The most common results are grouped. The literature review showed that the production process is well defined, although it needs improvement. As for material properties, they meet the standards. However, the entire process needs more research.

“…The use of cement in granular soils leads to an economical and effective solution because smaller amounts of cement are required (FIROOZI et al, 2017). Soil stabilization through the incorporation of construction waste improves the load capacity of the soil and fatigue crack resistance, in addition to making the material more durable (HIDALGO; CARVAJAL; MUÑOZ, 2019; BANZIBAGANYE; TWAGIRIMANA; KURAMAN, 2018;JOSHI et al, 2019). When this waste is added to clayey soils, the dry density decreases and, consequently, the unconfined strength increases, yielding a more resistant, stiffer and less deformable mixture (KIANIMEHR et al, 2019).…”

Evaluation of the incorporation of construction waste (CW) for the stabilization of soil-cement mixtures

2020

The reuse of construction waste (CW) has been increasingly adopted as a way to reduce the environmental impact from inadequate disposal of this material worldwide. The stabilization of soils with cement is a common practice, enabling the use of this material in a variety of projects. However, depending on the type of soil, frequently large quantities of cement are needed, making the technique impracticable. The use of CW in the soil stabilization process may be an alternative for reducing the amount of cement and improving the strength of the mixture. The objective of this work was to investigate the use of CW to partially replace a lateritic clay soil in soil-cement mixtures. Besides the natural soil (S), a mixture of soil and CW (S-CW) was used with proportions of 50% of each. The cement content levels evaluated were 0%, 4%, 6% and 8% and the curing periods varied from 7 to 28 days. The results showed superior strength values for the S-CW compared to the soil-cement. This confirms that the use of CW reduces the percentage of cement necessary for the stabilization of a clayey soil and presents an alternative, more environmentally appropriate destination for this material.
