Replacement of Cement by Lime and Other Materials in Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks

Abstract

It is dire necessity in today’s age to use less cement because it is hazardous to human health.
Hence, in this present study, cement by lime and other materials are compressed stabilized
earth blocks. Different types of materials used were, sugarcane bagasse, human hair, lime
which were replaced by cement with 35%. The mixture was compressed for 1500kg/cm2 and
compressive test of 16 compressed stabilized earth blocks (CSEB) gave excellent result for
cement replaced with hair. But sugarcane bagasse is more economical then hair, hence
sugarcane bagasse gave strength and research required in these areas.
