Abstract

Basic Soil or earth is an alternate structure material to conventional accoutrements like sword and concrete. Earth is a generally available structure material in utmost areas of the world and used by nearly 40 of the world population. slush block construction exists in earlier times because of the least demand of coffers, low energy consumption and simplicity of product process. Stabilized slush block construction in the assiduity has been the focus of exploration for profitable, environmental and specialized reasons. It has good thermal comfort and sound sequestration property. Stabilized slush block consumes energy 4 times lower than country fired bricks, it requires lower quantum of mortar for trouncing and it gives good architectural appearance. These blocks with different combinations of cement, refractory bricks and recycled plastic was tested for 28 days compressive strength, water absorption and viscosity. Grounded on the results, compressive strength increases with adding chance of cement and refractory bricks, water immersion is reducing with addition of recycled plastic and viscosity is within the respectable limit as per IS law.
