How to test the soil for Interlocking Bricks (CSEB)

[@111jacare]

A few questions for you: * Can limestone dust be used in the CSEB? If so, what is substituted, and what quantity? * Is it better to batch by volume or dry weight? * Is 1.6 mm to 5 mm gravel acceptable to be used in the CSEB? * Can off white cement and white cement be used in place of portland cement? * Can the CSEB be made with the straight products - gravel, sand, clay and cement? * Can hydrated lime be used in place of portland cement? If so, what is the substitution ratio? Reason being that some people have allergic reactions to cement. If you are able to answer these questions for me, please, this would be appreciated.

I used silt laterite soil with only 10 percent of cement without additional soil. And I managed to have a brick with 9.7 mpa. And soaked in water for a week . Does it show that adding soil is not necessary in my own case.

[@BuildupNepal]

Hey Amara, 9.7 MPa is no doubt a very good strength and the mix is the main factor for the strength of the bricks. It has to be pointed out that there are other things like how hard the compression was and how did you mix the mixture (manually or with a PAN mixer) that will determine the strength of the bricks. Off course silt as you mentioned will give additional strength to the bricks.

[@terresahel235]

@@BuildupNepal manually mixed. No sand just laterite soil with 10 percent cement by weight. And with 5 percent I achieved 4.7mpa.

What is the ratio of cement, sand and soil for making the best brick?

[@hezamhamad8972]

Welcome What is the proportion of water with the mixture?

[@temsumoaimsong4960]

Can we use stone dust instead of soil?If so what will be the ratio of sand and the stonedust?

[@BuildupNepal]

yes you can, usually the ratio is 7:1 for stonedust: cement. we dont add sand

[@ravindrakarandikar4898]

What one bag means by weight or volume?

[@BuildupNepal]

50 kg standard size bag

[@yahia.madieh]

You measured twice. The first is the height of the soil in the Jar, while the other distance is the height of is the elevation of the sand after pouring away the water many times. Is the proportion of sand in the mixture the quotient of the ratio of the two measurements?

[@BuildupNepal]

That is all covered in the training

[@mahmadamar4717]

Dose it needs burn in oven?

[@steelarms1500]

How much the maximum approx. compressive strength can be get with this ratio you mention. (i.e. 10%) Cement.

[@BuildupNepal]

Usually we get over 4 MPa. But with the same cement content, we have better results like 8-10 Mpa as well. The cement is just one part of it, it all depends on the mix and how well the compression is made in the machine

[@sreyneangsom3390]

hello dear. What if the percentage of sand is over 70%, how can we mix the material? Thank you for the answer🙏

Shall v use lime instead of cement,if ok then pls make video

[@BuildupNepal]

It has been done in the past but we are working with traditional ways of cement. You can look at the auroville website who are leaders in the research for this kind of technology

[@malreddysivareddy5319]

Explain the raw materials used in brick and their ratio. And brick dimensions all sides.

[@freddydiwa3357]

In one video I watched, they said that after making the bricks, the next day they would be ready for use in construction. But here it looks like one have to wait for 21 days of curing.

[@BuildupNepal]

Yes sir, we need to cure those bricks for 21 days. Pls contact us at 9802070082 for more information. Thank you!
