“…The sediment masonry bricks of size 210 x 100 x 65 mm were developed by mixing 90% of reservoir sediment and 10% of OPC with water content of 10% from total dry mix, compressed with a pressing load of 220 kN [14]. The properties of sediment masonry units were tested accordance with the requirements of the ASTM C140 and ASTM C67 and compared to clay and cement-sand masonry units, as shown in Table 1 [15].…”

This paper presents an experimental investigation of shear and flexural bond strength of masonry prisms for newly developed sediment masonry bricks. The masonry prisms were constructed in three levels stack-bonded prisms for shear bond strength test and five levels stack-bonded prisms for flexural bond strength test using cement mortar and cement-lime mortar with pre-wetted and dry masonry units. The bond strengths of sediment brick masonry were tested accordance with RILEM TC 127-MS and ASTM E518 for shear and flexural bond strengths respectively. The results were compared to clay brick and cementsand brick masonry. The results show that pre-wetted sediment brick masonry exhibits higher flexural and shear bond strengths of about 1.5 times and 5 times respectively compared to dry (nonwetted) sediment brick masonry. Using cement-lime mortar in pre-wetted sediment brick masonry leads to increment of the bond strengths and pre-wetting action is essential for sediment brick masonry to prevent failure of shear bond strength.

Accumulation of dredged sediment has raised environmental concern in various countries. Recycling of sediment into bricks is a viable solution to the environmental pollution. Concerning to the utilization of sediment in bricks, this study reviews the needs of characterization on sediment and methods of producing sediment bricks. Particle size distribution was found to be the key criteria for characterization of sediment. Sizes of particles determined the function of the sediments in the bricks. In spite of that, leachability of heavy metals is another important aspect for contaminated sediment. Cementing bricks used cementing materials as the stabilization agent to the heavy metals. It is necessary to conduct leaching test for the end-product of the sediment to ensure the heavy metals leached are within the regulatory limits. In conclusion, method of producing sediment bricks may vary due to the various characteristics of sediment for a promising environmental friendly production.

“…The present study aims to assess the performance of dredged fine sediments from the Dam of Fergoug which are used as a pavement subgrade material. The valorization of dredged materials and their use in road pavement and in construction is a topic that has attracted the attention of an increasing number of researchers in recent years [12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

The present research work aims to evaluate the feasibility of reusing raw dredged sediments from the Dam of Fergoug (northwestern Algeria) as an alternative material for road construction. These sediments were added to volcanic tuff from the quarry located near the village of Sidi Ali Cherif, in the town of Sig (northwestern Algeria), with contents of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% by total weight of tuff. To achieve this goal, sediments were extracted from Fergoug dam and an experimental program was carried out to study the possibility of valorizing these sediments to be used in road construction. The soils were subjected to a series of physical and chemical tests. Their physical properties, including the Atterberg limits, specific gravity, grain size distribution, and organic content were determined according to standard methods. Then, their chemical properties, including pH, elementary chemical composition using the X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and mineralogical composition identified by X-ray diffraction, were obtained by means of standard methods. The first experimental results from the tested formulations demonstrated the feasibility of reusing the valorized dredged sediments in road construction. Afterwards, the modified Proctor and ICBR tests were carried out, and the results obtained turned out to be quite satisfactory.
