Abstract
The Present Study is used to analysis the soil which is
better for stabilized earth block. The Engineering behaviour of
Compress stabilized sand block (CSSB) such as compression
strength, durability, water absorption etc. are depends on the
types of soil and stabilized material as binder. Here the soil will
be mixed with suitable proportion of stabilized such as lime, fly
ash, cement , coir and Chemicals will be compressed manually
or mechanically From literature review it find that by adding
different stabilizer in soil upto some fixed proportion will
increase technical properties of soil block. The Block produced
will have more strength than conventional burnt clay brick. Soil
tested and regarded as favourable for CSSB on the basis of
density index which manufacture by Block Cotton Soil. It
Concluded that the soil have more Compressive strength than
normal brick but cannot satisfy the Condition of water
absorption.

Introduction
Earth is an ancient building material that has been
used in many different ways around the world for thousands of
years. A large part of the world’s rural population (55%) still
lives in earth building (5 Kabiraj, Mandal, 2012). But earth
building is not a phenomenon only of the developing world.
Many developed countries like France, Australia, and many
other European as well as Asian countries, a remarkable
percentage of rural population still prefer to live in earthen
buildings (7 Heathcote, 2002). Building with earth materials
can be a way of helping with sustainable management of the
Earth’s resources. They can be put in place using simple
machinery and human energy. Earth building avoid
deforestation and pollution, and can archive low energy costs
throughout their lifetime – in the initial manufacture and
construction in their use as homes, and eventually in their
recycling back to the earth. Many people also value earth
construction for its aesthetic qualities.
1.2 Compressed Stabilized Earth Block (CSEB) Bricks
In everyday conversation, the word brick and block
sometimes refer to the same object and has ambiguity. The
definition of brick and block depend upon the country of origin
but British Standard BS 3921: 1985 defines a clay brick as “a
masonry unit not exceeding 337.5mm in length, 225mm in
thickness (referred to us width in one of the standard) or
112.5mm in height”. As for block, BS 6073: part 1: 1981 Pre-
cast concrete masonry units defines a block as “a masonry unit
which, when used, in its normal aspect exceeds the length or
width or height specified for brick”, CDI (Compressed Earth
Blocks,1998)defined composed earth as “ masonry element
principally made of raw earth, which are small in size and
which have regular and verified characteristic obtained by the
static or dynamic compression of earth in a humid state
followed by immediate remoulding” (4Morris 2000) even give
lighter definition for brick and block as a small masonry unit,
which can be lift with one hand and a large masonry unit,
which can be lift with two hands. The soil, raw or stabilized, for
a compressed earth block is slightly moistened, poured into a
steel press (with or without stabilizer)and then compressed
either with a manual or motorized press ( 8M. Zami 2007).
The new development of earth construction really
started in the nineteen fifties, with the technology of the
Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (CSEB): a research
programmed for affordable houses in Colombia proposed the
first manual press the CINVA ram. Since then, considerable
scientific researches has been carried out by laboratories
(2Guilaud, 1985).The knowledge of soil laboratories concerning
road building was adapted to earth construction. Since 1960-
1970, Africa has been seen the widest world development for
CSEB. India developed CSEB Technology only in the nineteen
eighty’s, but sees today a wider dissemination and
development of CSEB ( 4Morris, 2000)

2 Selection of material
2.1 Selection of Soil
Earth as a construction material has been used for
thousands of year by Civilisation all over world. But the
structure made of earth have less durability, strength & get
eroded by water and wind gradually; therefore, they require
regular maintenance. In order to overcome all these
limitations, methods derived from traditional techniques are
developed to improve the quality of earth construction and
broaden potential for its application.
According to (9 Walker 2003) generally the range of
different properties are classified LL – (47-93%), PL-(26-
50%), PI (13-58%) and LS-(8-18%), Black cotton Soil is largely
available in Maharashtra and therefore this study’s aims to
evaluate the potential of Black Cotton Soil in CSEB bricks
manufacturing industry. From the above Literature and the
result of tests conducted on Black Cotton Soil that is proposed
to be used in current investigation, it is found that the index
properties of Black Cotton soil are fairly agreeable with the
literature, so as to use in CSEB bricks.
River slit was tests but the plasticity index that is
obtained is very less as compared to plasticity range (i.e. 13%
to 58%) given by literature. It was found to be plasticity index
was 7.17% River is not available easily as it is obtained only
where there is river.
2.2 Selection of stabilizer- The Selection of stabilizer is
mainly depends on the properties of soil as Follow.
1. Durability – Durability mainly deals with the ability of
structure of withstand in its whole-life against the destructive
action or natural hazards. Rain and Frost are main destructive
force which causes the degradation of soil structure. So to
accelerate durability & strength stabilizer must be used
together with soil in different composition.
2. Shrinkage and swelling – After conducting the different
test on Black Cotton Soil, red soil and river silt, Black Cotton
Soil was selected for the current investigation. Shrinkage and
swelling are two main hitches which takes place in Black
Cotton Soil (6Osinubi, 2011). When it comes in contact with
water soil swells and when water content reduces, soil tends to
shrinks. Maximum permissible linear shrinkage of 3% is
permitted in any soil but Black Cotton Soil has linear shrinkage
of 13%. Hence to overcome this objection stabilization process
is required. Stabilizers are the materials which are added to
soil to improve the quality of soil.
Different stabiliser such as fly ash, coir, lime and
chemical (NaOH and NaSiO3) are used to improve strength and
erosion resistance property of the block.
3 Plan of project work
3.1. Collection of literature –Literature is important deed
which includes thesis, books, investigation reports, and
research papers. There are helpful in selecting proper type of
soil according to its property required for making block. It also
helps to find out different stabilizer which is good for different
condition of soil. These literatures are collected from internet,
books, seminar reports & project reports.
3.2 Selection of material –By making in mind all the
important properties of materials for manufacturing of blocks
the selection of materials was done. Black Cotton Soil, lime, fly
ash, coir, & Chemicals which increase density & durability of
soil were selected for the production of block.
3.3 Collection of material
 The BLACK COTTON SOIL is taken from field of
Pimprala and Faizpur of Jalgaon district.
 Fly ash is taken from Deepnagar, Bhusawal which is
thermal power station producing electricity.
 Coir is waste product of coconut and obtained from
furnishing shop.
 Lime is purchased from local help
 Chemical are purchased from local chemical shop and
prepared in laboratory by standard procedure which
is discussed later in detail.
3.4 Machine – Many machines and manufacturing procedure
of different block are examined at different places in Jalgaon
city and nearby area, like Khotenagar, V- sector and F- sector of
MIDC, Jalgaon. Out of these, a Hydraulic pressure of Rakesh
Bricks Industries, 192 V-sector, MIDC, Jalgaon was chosen. This
machine can impart pressure of 3 tonne and manufacture six
blocks at a time. The machine is an indigenous type, make of
Karmyog Manufacturing Industries, Gujarat.
Fig. 1 Hydraulic Compression Machine
3.5 Mixing and Batching –In batching process the content of
stabilizer are varied from 5% to 15% and up to 30% Lime
alone do not give advisable strength, hence coir is added along
with lime and also along chemical to improve strength of block.
Fly ashes itself have cohesive property. So it is use along and
also with chemicals to improve strength of block. This all
materials according to their proportions are kept in bag and
utilise at time of dry mixing process.
3.6 Casting- All material batches were packed and numbered
according to their proportions. First, the dry mixing process is
carried out into a large pan by using trowel and shove. Then
International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395 -0056

water will be added slowly into dry mixing by keeping liquid
limit and plastic limit test carried out into laboratory. Later
than wet mixture is carry on mould and Hydraulic pressure will
apply according to requirement in block are comes out from
machine and going further next step.
3.7. Drying- After making block, it place in shed for drying
process because crack are take place on block. This crack arises
due to rapid loss of water from block and quick shrinkage.
Fig.2 Shaded dried Brick
3.8 Testing-The CSEB bricks prepared in factory were brought
to laboratory for testing of compressive strength (IS Code
1725-1984). Every proportion had six bricks out of which
three were tested for compressive strength in Compression
Testing Machine (CTM). The specimen was placed in CTM with
flat faces horizontal and dry sand filled face facing upwards
between two 3 ply plywood sheets each of 3 mm thickness and
carefully centred between plates of the testing machine. Load
was applied axially at a uniform rate of 14 N/mm (140
kgs/cm2) per minute till failure occurs and the maximum load
at failure was noted. The load at failure was the maximum load
at which the specimen failed to produce any further increase in
the indicator reading on the testing machine.
4. Procedure of casting block
4.1. Batching – The batching is defined as calculation of
amount Weighting and initial blending of raw materials prior
to forming operation is known as Batching.

80% 20%
70% 30%
60% 40%
50% 50%
As discussed in above percentage of fly ash is varied
from 10% -50% of total weight of mixture for one block. If
percentage various above 50% Then it becomes fly ash block
also more percentage of fly ash reduce the strength of soil
block

Chemicals and fly ash both individually are binding
material but when mixed together in certain fixed proportion
acts as good adhesive material. As same chemicals (Na2SiO3,
NaOH) with equal percentage will improve compressive
strength and properties are varies from 1.25%-5%
individually.
4.1.3 BCS with lime and Coir
As same the percentage of fibre should not be more
than 3% because it creates difficulty in mixing and reduce
compressive

Lime with coir used in 3%-12% because 6%-12% of
lime improve bulk density to 2200kg/m3. The fig. No 3 is
shows dry mixing of 2% of coir when mixed with 6% lime and
92% Black Cotton Soil. It is clear from the picture that the
volume of coir is huge as compressed to volume of mixture of
Black Cotton Soil and lime, which impart difficulty in uniform
mixing of the mixture.
4.1.4 Stone dust with Fly ash and Chemical

The stone dust Bricks are currently manufactured by
the bricks industries in Jalgaon. This bricks are also tested just
to get a brief idea about its properties. It is seen that bricks
made by using combination of stone dust, fly ash, and lime has
less strength compared to manufactured CSEB bricks and also

effort were made to replace lime by chemicals and this increase
the compressive strength of bricks prepared by stone dust, fly
ash and chemicals.
New technique developed by industries was
manufacturing of gypsum bricks. So gypsum bricks are also
examined for their engineering properties and found that
Gypsum bricks have good compressive strength compared to
Lime bricks.
In this way all types of bricks manufactured in Jalgaon
industries was studied for their compressive strength.
Fig.3 Dry mixing of BCS, Lime & Coir
4.2 Wet mixing-
Wet mixing is most essential procedure for proper casting and
homogeneous strength of block. It is much better to add little
water at a time or by sprinkling and mix with suitable tool such
as spades, hoe or shovels on hard surface. A little more water
is added and whole mixture is turned over and over again. The
procedure is repeated till advisable quantity of water is added
for wet mixing. Wet mixing is easy in case of mixture of Black
cotton and fly ash, whereas it is difficult to mix the mixture of
Black Cotton Soil, lime and coir. Due to high volume of fibres,
hand mixing is not homogeneous which result in poor quality
uneven surface finish. When lime is used as stabilizer, it is
suitable to allow the mix to stand for a short period before
moulding for better moisture of soil particles with water.
However When Chemicals are used as stabilizer then it is
suitable to mould the mix as soon as possible because it gain its
strength after wetting by water and it will result poor quality
bricks.
4.4 Casting – Following are consideration which takes into
account while production of compressed earth stabilizer block.
 Amount and type of stabilizer
 Type of soil and suitability for production
 Building standard for quality of brick
The procedure of casting is discussed 3.6 Wet mix is
compressed by using hydraulic press machine and blocks
obtained are kept for drying to gain strength.

Results and Discussion
Introduction: In general sense, a “brick” is standard sized
weight bearing building unit.
The Geometrical properties such as Length, Width,
Breadth and Weight plays significant role in building structure.
For efficiency handling and lying, bricks must be
made by small and less weighted. As per IS the length of the
bricks should be twice the width so that thy allow bricks to be
laid bonded in structure which increase stability and strength.
The correct bricks for a job can be selected from a
choice of colour, surface texture, density, weight, absorption
etc.
5.1 Geometrical Properties
Following are some geometrical properties which were
examined and result obtain are shown below

From above result, it is clear that length of CSEB
bricks is 220mm which is more than that of convectional burnt
bricks 200mm. the length of stone dust bricks is 235mm. The
increase in length helps in faster construction. If the length of
bricks is large number of bricks required for the construction
work will be less e cost effective.
2) Comparison between Width of different Bricks:-As per IS
1725-1982 width of convectional bricks should have 90mm

It is seen from graph that bricks made of BC + Lime
+Coir combination has least Width of 97mm and bricks made of
stone dust + flay ash +chemical and gypsum has highest Width
i.e. 104mm. hence it can be concluded that the manufactured
CSEB bricks has large width than that of convectional bricks. If
the width of bricks is increase the width of wall will increase
which will result in good thermal comfort for structure.
3) Comparison between Height of Different Bricks:-As per
IS code 1725-1982 Height of convectional bricks should have
90mm.

BCS + fly ash +Chemical 2.55
Manufacture fly ash brick 3.13
From a bar chart it is observed that the Weight of
black cotton + fly ash is 4.191kg. From this it is concluded that
the bricks manufacture by using black cotton & fly ash are light
in weight than other. If light weight bricks are manufactured
the dead load of the structure will be less. Hence it can be
effectively used in internal partition wall. It will be cost
effective in the region where Black Cotton Soil is available in
large amount it can be transported for manufacture of bricks.
5.2. Compressive strength Of Different CSEB Brick
1) Fly ash brick with Black Cotton soil:-Compressive
strength of bricks is important as an indicator of masonry
strength and as a result brick has become an important brick
design. AS per IS 1325-1992 pages number 1, the Compressive
strength of bricks should be 3.5N/mm2

2) 1% Coir with Lime and BLACK COTTON SOIL:- after
studying different literature it was found that ordinary bricks
get crushed at 3.5.N/mm2 but the brick prepared by using coir
as stabilizer do not get crushed just get compressed and it is
ready to take more loads. The bricks were prepared by adding
1% and2% of coir in Black Cotton Soil with percentage of lime
varying from 3% to 15%.

Conclusion
The present study was conducted verify the potential of black
cotton soil, which is present abundantly in local region. The
following conclusion is drawn based on the current
investigation:
 The compressive strength of CSEB bricks decrease as the
percentage of fly ash is increase when mixed with black
cotton soil.
 The CSEB brick made of Black Cotton Soil +fly ash
+Chemical yielded better geometrical properties but were
weak in compressive strength.
 Although, the mixture of Cotton Soil +10% fly ash +5 %
Chemical when casted as CSEB brick, this gave compressive
strength almost 3 times the strength of convectional burnt
clay bricks. The same mixture with higher percentage of fly
ash and chemicals yields
 Weaker compressive strength.
 When black cotton soil was mixed with lime and coir the
bricks underwent compressive but did not fail by crushing
like convectional burnt clay bricks.
 Stone dust+20% fly ash +5% chemical showed almost 4
times the compressive strength as compared to convection
bricks and manufactured Bricks. This proves that
convectional practice of using lime can be replaced by using
chemicals for better compressive strength.
 When black cotton soil is mixed with different stabilizer,
the water absorption test could not be conducted on such
types of CSEB bricks. Hence, the resistance to water of CSEB
bricks, when manufactured using Black cotton soil as basic
material, as questionable and needs further research and
experiments.
Finally, it can be said that when black cotton soil is stabilized
with different stabilizers for manufacturing compressed
stabilized earth block, its compressive strength increase but
water resistance is negligible. Although, such bricks will gives
better compressive strength when compared with different

Patil School of Engineering, Lohegaon, Pune Maharashtra 412105, India. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract The Present Study is used to analysis the soil which is better for stabilized earth block. The Engineering behaviour of Compress stabilized sand block (CSSB) such as compression strength, durability, water absorption etc. are depends on the types of soil and stabilized material as binder. Here the soil will be mixed with suitable proportion of stabilized such as lime, fly ash, cement , coir and Chemicals will be compressed manually or mechanically From literature review it find that by adding different stabilizer in soil upto some fixed proportion will increase technical properties of soil block. The Block produced will have more strength than conventional burnt clay brick. Soil tested and regarded as favourable for CSSB on the basis of density index which manufacture by Block Cotton Soil. It Concluded that the soil have more Compressive strength than normal brick but cannot satisfy the Condition of water absorption. Keyword: Brick by using Black cotton soil, Brick by using Stabilizer, CSEB. Introduction Earth is an ancient building material that has been used in many different ways around the world for thousands of years. A large part of the world’s rural population (55%) still lives in earth building (5 Kabiraj, Mandal, 2012). But earth building is not a phenomenon only of the developing world. Many developed countries like France, Australia, and many other European as well as Asian countries, a remarkable percentage of rural population still prefer to live in earthen buildings (7 Heathcote, 2002). Building with earth materials can be a way of helping with sustainable management of the Earth’s resources. They can be put in place using simple machinery and human energy. Earth building avoid deforestation and pollution, and can archive low energy costs throughout their lifetime – in the initial manufacture and construction in their use as homes, and eventually in their recycling back to the earth. Many people also value earth construction for its aesthetic qualities. 1.2 Compressed Stabilized Earth Block (CSEB) Bricks In everyday conversation, the word brick and block sometimes refer to the same object and has ambiguity. The definition of brick and block depend upon the country of origin but British Standard BS 3921: 1985 defines a clay brick as “a masonry unit not exceeding 337.5mm in length, 225mm in thickness (referred to us width in one of the standard) or 112.5mm in height”. As for block, BS 6073: part 1: 1981 Pre- cast concrete masonry units defines a block as “a masonry unit which, when used, in its normal aspect exceeds the length or width or height specified for brick”, CDI (Compressed Earth Blocks,1998)defined composed earth as “ masonry element principally made of raw earth, which are small in size and which have regular and verified characteristic obtained by the static or dynamic compression of earth in a humid state followed by immediate remoulding” (4Morris 2000) even give lighter definition for brick and block as a small masonry unit, which can be lift with one hand and a large masonry unit, which can be lift with two hands. The soil, raw or stabilized, for a compressed earth block is slightly moistened, poured into a steel press (with or without stabilizer)and then compressed either with a manual or motorized press ( 8M. Zami 2007). The new development of earth construction really started in the nineteen fifties, with the technology of the Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (CSEB): a research programmed for affordable houses in Colombia proposed the first manual press the CINVA ram. Since then, considerable scientific researches has been carried out by laboratories (2Guilaud, 1985).The knowledge of soil laboratories concerning road building was adapted to earth construction. Since 1960- 1970, Africa has been seen the widest world development for CSEB. India developed CSEB Technology only in the nineteen eighty’s, but sees today a wider dissemination and development of CSEB ( 4Morris, 2000)

International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395 -0056 Volume: 04 Issue: 02 | Feb -2017 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 © 2017, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 5.181 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 1280 2 Selection of material 2.1 Selection of Soil Earth as a construction material has been used for thousands of year by Civilisation all over world. But the structure made of earth have less durability, strength & get eroded by water and wind gradually; therefore, they require regular maintenance. In order to overcome all these limitations, methods derived from traditional techniques are developed to improve the quality of earth construction and broaden potential for its application. According to (9 Walker 2003) generally the range of different properties are classified LL – (47-93%), PL-(26- 50%), PI (13-58%) and LS-(8-18%), Black cotton Soil is largely available in Maharashtra and therefore this study’s aims to evaluate the potential of Black Cotton Soil in CSEB bricks manufacturing industry. From the above Literature and the result of tests conducted on Black Cotton Soil that is proposed to be used in current investigation, it is found that the index properties of Black Cotton soil are fairly agreeable with the literature, so as to use in CSEB bricks. River slit was tests but the plasticity index that is obtained is very less as compared to plasticity range (i.e. 13% to 58%) given by literature. It was found to be plasticity index was 7.17% River is not available easily as it is obtained only where there is river. 2.2 Selection of stabilizer- The Selection of stabilizer is mainly depends on the properties of soil as Follow. 1. Durability – Durability mainly deals with the ability of structure of withstand in its whole-life against the destructive action or natural hazards. Rain and Frost are main destructive force which causes the degradation of soil structure. So to accelerate durability & strength stabilizer must be used together with soil in different composition. 2. Shrinkage and swelling – After conducting the different test on Black Cotton Soil, red soil and river silt, Black Cotton Soil was selected for the current investigation. Shrinkage and swelling are two main hitches which takes place in Black Cotton Soil (6Osinubi, 2011). When it comes in contact with water soil swells and when water content reduces, soil tends to shrinks. Maximum permissible linear shrinkage of 3% is permitted in any soil but Black Cotton Soil has linear shrinkage of 13%. Hence to overcome this objection stabilization process is required. Stabilizers are the materials which are added to soil to improve the quality of soil. Different stabiliser such as fly ash, coir, lime and chemical (NaOH and NaSiO3) are used to improve strength and erosion resistance property of the block. 3 Plan of project work 3.1. Collection of literature –Literature is important deed which includes thesis, books, investigation reports, and research papers. There are helpful in selecting proper type of soil according to its property required for making block. It also helps to find out different stabilizer which is good for different condition of soil. These literatures are collected from internet, books, seminar reports & project reports. 3.2 Selection of material –By making in mind all the important properties of materials for manufacturing of blocks the selection of materials was done. Black Cotton Soil, lime, fly ash, coir, & Chemicals which increase density & durability of soil were selected for the production of block. 3.3 Collection of material  The BLACK COTTON SOIL is taken from field of Pimprala and Faizpur of Jalgaon district.  Fly ash is taken from Deepnagar, Bhusawal which is thermal power station producing electricity.  Coir is waste product of coconut and obtained from furnishing shop.  Lime is purchased from local help  Chemical are purchased from local chemical shop and prepared in laboratory by standard procedure which is discussed later in detail. 3.4 Machine – Many machines and manufacturing procedure of different block are examined at different places in Jalgaon city and nearby area, like Khotenagar, V- sector and F- sector of MIDC, Jalgaon. Out of these, a Hydraulic pressure of Rakesh Bricks Industries, 192 V-sector, MIDC, Jalgaon was chosen. This machine can impart pressure of 3 tonne and manufacture six blocks at a time. The machine is an indigenous type, make of Karmyog Manufacturing Industries, Gujarat. Fig. 1 Hydraulic Compression Machine 3.5 Mixing and Batching –In batching process the content of stabilizer are varied from 5% to 15% and up to 30% Lime alone do not give advisable strength, hence coir is added along with lime and also along chemical to improve strength of block. Fly ashes itself have cohesive property. So it is use along and also with chemicals to improve strength of block. This all materials according to their proportions are kept in bag and utilise at time of dry mixing process. 3.6 Casting- All material batches were packed and numbered according to their proportions. First, the dry mixing process is carried out into a large pan by using trowel and shove. Then

Later than wet mixture is carry on mould and Hydraulic pressure will apply according to requirement in block are comes out from machine and going further next step. 3.7. Drying- After making block, it place in shed for drying process because crack are take place on block. This crack arises due to rapid loss of water from block and quick shrinkage. Fig.2 Shaded dried Brick 3.8 Testing-The CSEB bricks prepared in factory were brought to laboratory for testing of compressive strength (IS Code 1725-1984). Every proportion had six bricks out of which three were tested for compressive strength in Compression Testing Machine (CTM). The specimen was placed in CTM with flat faces horizontal and dry sand filled face facing upwards between two 3 ply plywood sheets each of 3 mm thickness and carefully centred between plates of the testing machine. Load was applied axially at a uniform rate of 14 N/mm (140 kgs/cm2) per minute till failure occurs and the maximum load at failure was noted. The load at failure was the maximum load at which the specimen failed to produce any further increase in the indicator reading on the testing machine. 4. Procedure of casting block 4.1. Batching – The batching is defined as calculation of amount Weighting and initial blending of raw materials prior to forming operation is known as Batching. 4.1.1 BCS with fly ash Table No 1. Various Properties of Black Cotton Soil and fly ash Black Cotton Soil Fly ash 90% 10% 80% 20% 70% 30% 60% 40% 50% 50% As discussed in above percentage of fly ash is varied from 10% -50% of total weight of mixture for one block. If percentage various above 50% Then it becomes fly ash block also more percentage of fly ash reduce the strength of soil block 4.1.2 BCS with fly ash and Chemical Table No 2.

As same chemicals (Na2SiO3, NaOH) with equal percentage will improve compressive strength and properties are varies from 1.25%-5% individually. 4.1.3 BCS with lime and Coir As same the percentage of fibre should not be more than 3% because it creates difficulty in mixing and reduce compressive Table No 3. Various Proportion of Black Cotton Soil, Fly ash and Chemicals.

The fig. No 3 is shows dry mixing of 2% of coir when mixed with 6% lime and 92% Black Cotton Soil. It is clear from the picture that the volume of coir is huge as compressed to volume of mixture of Black Cotton Soil and lime, which impart difficulty in uniform mixing of the mixture. 4.1.4 Stone dust with Fly ash and Chemical Table No 4.

This bricks are also tested just to get a brief idea about its properties. It is seen that bricks made by using combination of stone dust, fly ash, and lime has less strength compared to manufactured CSEB bricks and also

New technique developed by industries was manufacturing of gypsum bricks. So gypsum bricks are also examined for their engineering properties and found that Gypsum bricks have good compressive strength compared to Lime bricks. In this way all types of bricks manufactured in Jalgaon industries was studied for their compressive strength. Fig.3 Dry mixing of BCS, Lime & Coir 4.2 Wet mixing- Wet mixing is most essential procedure for proper casting and homogeneous strength of block. It is much better to add little water at a time or by sprinkling and mix with suitable tool such as spades, hoe or shovels on hard surface. A little more water is added and whole mixture is turned over and over again. The procedure is repeated till advisable quantity of water is added for wet mixing. Wet mixing is easy in case of mixture of Black cotton and fly ash, whereas it is difficult to mix the mixture of Black Cotton Soil, lime and coir. Due to high volume of fibres, hand mixing is not homogeneous which result in poor quality uneven surface finish. When lime is used as stabilizer, it is suitable to allow the mix to stand for a short period before moulding for better moisture of soil particles with water. However When Chemicals are used as stabilizer then it is suitable to mould the mix as soon as possible because it gain its strength after wetting by water and it will result poor quality bricks. 4.4 Casting – Following are consideration which takes into account while production of compressed earth stabilizer block.  Amount and type of stabilizer  Type of soil and suitability for production  Building standard for quality of brick The procedure of casting is discussed 3.6 Wet mix is compressed by using hydraulic press machine and blocks obtained are kept for drying to gain strength.

The Geometrical properties such as Length, Width, Breadth and Weight plays significant role in building structure. For efficiency handling and lying, bricks must be made by small and less weighted. As per IS the length of the bricks should be twice the width so that thy allow bricks to be laid bonded in structure which increase stability and strength. The correct bricks for a job can be selected from a choice of colour, surface texture, density, weight, absorption etc. 5.1 Geometrical Properties Following are some geometrical properties which were examined and result obtain are shown below 1) Comparison Between Length Of Different Bricks:-As per IS 1725-1982, Length of convection brick should be 190mm 100 200 300 1 Length… Comparison Between Length Of Different… Burnt Conventional Brick stone dust+gypsum bricks

International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395 -0056 Volume: 04 Issue: 02 | Feb -2017 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 © 2017, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 5.181 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 1283 Graph 1: Average length of Different Brick Table No.6 Length Of Different Bricks Types Of Brick Length In mm Burnt Convection brick 200 Block Cotton + Fly ash brick 220.23 Stone Dust + Gypsums bricks 220 Stone dust +fly ash +chemical 235.75 Black cotton +lime +coir 220 Black cotton fly ash +Chemical 222.83 Manufacture fly ash brick 220 From above result, it is clear that length of CSEB bricks is 220mm which is more than that of convectional burnt bricks 200mm. the length of stone dust bricks is 235mm. The increase in length helps in faster construction. If the length of bricks is large number of bricks required for the construction work will be less e cost effective. 2) Comparison between Width of different Bricks:-As per IS 1725-1982 width of convectional bricks should have 90mm Graph no. 2 Average width of different Brick Table No.7 Width of Different Bricks Types Of Brick Width In mm Burnt Convection brick 100 Block Cotton + Fly ash brick 98 Stone Dust + Gypsum bricks 100 Stone dust +fly ash + chemical 104 Black cotton +lime +coir 97 Black cotton +fly ash +Chemical 100 Manufacture fly ash brick 100 It is seen from graph that bricks made of BC + Lime +Coir combination has least Width of 97mm and bricks made of stone dust + flay ash +chemical and gypsum has highest Width i.e. 104mm. hence it can be concluded that the manufactured CSEB bricks has large width than that of convectional bricks. If the width of bricks is increase the width of wall will increase which will result in good thermal comfort for structure. 3) Comparison between Height of Different Bricks:-As per IS code 1725-1982 Height of convectional bricks should have 90mm.

From this it is concluded that the bricks manufacture by using black cotton & fly ash are light in weight than other. If light weight bricks are manufactured the dead load of the structure will be less. Hence it can be effectively used in internal partition wall. It will be cost effective in the region where Black Cotton Soil is available in large amount it can be transported for manufacture of bricks. 5.2. Compressive strength Of Different CSEB Brick 1) Fly ash brick with Black Cotton soil:-Compressive strength of bricks is important as an indicator of masonry strength and as a result brick has become an important brick design.

It was observed that the minimum strength is1.916N/mm2 of convectional brick are maximum strength is8.712N/mm2 of stone dust+20% fly ash+5% of chemical Conclusion The present study was conducted verify the potential of black cotton soil, which is present abundantly in local region. The following conclusion is drawn based on the current investigation:  The compressive strength of CSEB bricks decrease as the percentage of fly ash is increase when mixed with black cotton soil.  The CSEB brick made of Black Cotton Soil +fly ash +Chemical yielded better geometrical properties but were weak in compressive strength.  Although, the mixture of Cotton Soil +10% fly ash +5 % Chemical when casted as CSEB brick, this gave compressive strength almost 3 times the strength of convectional burnt clay bricks. The same mixture with higher percentage of fly ash and chemicals yields  Weaker compressive strength.  When black cotton soil was mixed with lime and coir the bricks underwent compressive but did not fail by crushing like convectional burnt clay bricks.  Stone dust+20% fly ash +5% chemical showed almost 4 times the compressive strength as compared to convection bricks and manufactured Bricks. This proves that convectional practice of using lime can be replaced by using chemicals for better compressive strength.  When black cotton soil is mixed with different stabilizer, the water absorption test could not be conducted on such types of CSEB bricks. Hence, the resistance to water of CSEB bricks, when manufactured using Black cotton soil as basic material, as questionable and needs further research and experiments. Finally, it can be said that when black cotton soil is stabilized with different stabilizers for manufacturing compressed stabilized earth block, its compressive strength increase but water resistance is negligible. Although, such bricks will gives better compressive strength when compared with different types of convectional as well as compressed stabilized earth blocks. Reference 1.
