Compressive Strength of Biobricks

Abstract

This essay describes the method of creating bricks. Biomass bricks are typically formed from agricultural waste and are frequently used to generate power, prepare meals, and maintain heat. These compressed compounds, which have fewer carbon emissions, incorporate a variety of organic materials, such as rice husks, bagasse, groundnut shells, cotton stalks, soybean husks, and agricultural waste. These agricultural wastes are combined, compressed by a spinning screw, and then formed into briquettes to facilitate easier transportation of commodities and extended burn times. Because they contain a lot less ash than coal, these biomass bricks are different from coal. We use the UTM machine to test the bio-bricks.

We designed a brick-making machine that increases production output while decreasing the cost of operation. The development of this brick-making machine is a step in the right direction to enable us to produce bricks for building adequate housing and settlements for the growing population. Moreover, the machine produces bricks that have desirable advantages such as thermal comfort, fire resistance and superior moisture control. The infamous thermal comfort conditions attributed to houses made with bricks and the cost savings in terms of the construction of shelters make bricks very functional in housing units.
