  Compressive Strength Characteristic of Environmentally Friendly Laterite Soil Blocks

  By D. Tripura, P. P. Sarkar

  Abstract: In order to minimize the environmental impacts caused by over exploitation of natural resources for theproduction of building material, the possibility of using blended soil blocks duly burnt for load-bearing wallshas been assessed to alternate the fertile top soil of agricultural land. Since the vertical load carrying capacityprimarily depends on the compressive strength, a comprehensive study was conducted for burnt soil blocksmade with commonly available laterite and clay soil types …
