Abstract

Global warming and environmental pollution is now a global concern. Cellular light weight concrete (CLC) block can be
used as an alternative to conventional bricks, to reduce environmental pollution and global warming. The energy consumed
in the production of CLC blocks is only a fraction compared to the production of conventional bricks and emits no pollution.
Present study work is carry out the work on properties of fly-ash and foaming agent, experimental work (casting cubes) on
cellular lightweight concrete and comparison of strength between CLC blocks and conventional brick. The work, shows the
comparison of compressive strength of CLC blocks made with waste materials with conventional clay bricks by taking a
mould size as a standard size of conventional brick 19cm x 9cm x 9cm. We have used different waste materials (sawdust and
rice husk) in protein based CLC blocks, replacing the sawdust and rice husk with sand by 4%, 8%, 12% and 16% and cure
the blocks for 21 days to compare the compressive strength by graph.
