Laterisation is an uncontrolled natural process that was influenced by the synergetic effect of
atmospheric and geological conditions. Laterite soil 'leached residue'is the resultant from the …

In the present work, coconut shell powder (CSP) is explored as a pore-forming agent in the
manufacturing of fired clay bricks. The bricks were produced by varying the amount of CSP …

Hollow sandcrete blocks constitute more than 90% of residential building construction in
developing countries especially in West Africa. Over-reliance on dredged river sands and …

This paper reviews local and bio-sourced materials for construction through their
thermomechanical characteristics, but with an emphasis on their thermal conductivity that …

This study reports on the geotechnical characterization of lateritic soils upon basaltic rocks in
Dschang, West-Cameroon. Six (06) soil samples from six (06) sites were taken for assessing …

This paper presents extensive experimental investigations carried out on stabilizing lateritic
soil subgrades using Waste Foundry Sand (WFS) and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) …

The construction industry is currently experiencing robust global growth. With the
advancement of technology, real estate development is evolving through the adoption of …

The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of using recycled Juncus Acutus-fibers
waste as an additive to unfired clay bricks for construction purposes. This novel approach …

In this study was used three different clay types and sand from the local quarry in Latvia.
Clay mass mixes were made by adding sand in each mix and remaining the same amount of …

Termite mound soils (TMS) from humid savannah (HS) and dry savannah (DS) were
evaluated as raw materials for compressed earth bricks (CEB) and fired bricks. Mineralogy …
