Soil Cement Bricks Incorporated With Granite Cutting Sludge

Large scale utilization of granite sludge in making blocks would contribute not only to replace natural river sand used in re grading the soil used in preparing csebs but.

Soil cement bricks incorporated with granite cutting sludge. The soil material in soil cement can be almost any combination of sand silt clay gravel or crushed stone. The slurry is sedimented to separate the granite cutting dust from water to obtain sludge. The size of particles contained in the granite sludge is finer than 425 μm. The authors also studied the re use of granite cutting sludge in soil cement bricks and found that a replacement of soil with granite sawing sludge in the range of up to 30 wt produced a soil cement brick with good physical and mechanical properties.

According to ribeiro and holanda 2014 24 it was observed that using up to 30 by weight granite cutting sludge as partial replacement for soil in soil cement bricks manufacturing is sug. 2014 soil cement bricks incorporated with granite cutting sludge international journal of e ngineering science and innovative technology ijesit volu me 3.
