Cost comparison of available walling materials in Makurdi metropolis showed that the use of bricks made from 45% sand and 5% cement resulted in a saving of 30 47% when compared with the use of sandcrete blocks while the use of fired clay bricks resulted in a savings of 19% per square meter of wall. The study therefore recommends the use of laterite bricks in Makurdi and other loions ...
fired clay bricks. The high cost of sandcrete blocks coupled with the low strength properties of commercially available blocks necessitates the development of an alternative brick material. In comparison to the use of sandcrete blocks, the use . 1 Civil Engineering Department, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, NIGERIA . ∗Corresponding author: raheemayinde .
Compressed Stabilized Laterite Bricks (CSLBs) has been canvassed as a viable alternative to sandcrete blocks due to its affordability and sustainability. However, it has not been widely accepted n. This paper examined the correlation between promotions (one of the inhibitors) of CSLBs in the

· This has an adverse effect on construction costs. The shortage of sandcrete blocks and escalating prices has encouraged the search for alternative materials. The authors have focussed on the use of lateritic soils in brick and block manufacture. Laterite is a soil layer, rich in iron oxide and is abundant, readily accessible and may be obtained at comparatively low cost. Laterite containing ...
Comparative cost analysis between interlocking bricks and. The cost per square metre of 225mm and 150mm sandcrete hollow blocks are ₦2,808:00 and ₦2,340:00 respectively, while that of laterite interlocking blocks is ₦2,121: was concluded that
From industry estimates, the use of Laterite bricks for block walls and columns where suitable, reduces the cost of these items of work by about 15 25% depending on how widely it was used. Laterite bricks are cheap because the cost of the main constituent material – Laterite and the cementsand ratio is quite low compared to the cost of producing the popular Sandcrete type.
· This study investigated the prospect of utilising red earth, quarry dust and laterite as alternative materials to river sand in the production of sandcrete blocks. Compressive strength test was performed on the samples at 7, 14, 21 and 28 curing days in the laboratory. The effect of curing on strength improvement was also studied. Using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey analysis ...

Comparative Cost Analysis Of Laterite Bricks And Sandcrete Blocks . Use of CementSand Admixture in Laterite Brick . Based on the 7day UCS results, laterite bricks were produced using soilsandcement mixtures with 0 and 45 sand content and 0, 3, 6, and 9 cement content. Laterite and sand were air dried for 24 hours before passing ...
advantages of brick usage, such as its cost effectiveness and low maintenance requirement. 2. Literature Review Structural Suitability of Bricks as Cladding Material Brick is a viable and structurally sound alternative cladding material to conventionally used sandcrete blocks. However, it is common reasoning in Nigeria that bricks are
Sitemanufacturing of 225mm hollow sandcrete block for walls was researched on with the aim of comparing its production cost with that of the outright purchase of the block in the market. Two similar twin 2bedroom bungalows were designed; their cost estimates and the number of blocks required for each of the buildings were got. While blocks were sitemoulded for one.
bricks and sandcrete block. • The use of interlocking bricks to achieve aesthetic and form has a significant effect of the building. • There is no significant relationship in the cost of interlocking bricks and sandcrete block. SCOPE OF SCOPE OF STUDY STUDYSTUDY The knowledge of the use of interlocking bricks in Nigerian housing is increasingly going far and wide over the years. It is not ...
A Comparative Study on Local and Industrial Chemical Additives on Strength Properties of Sancrete Blocks Okeniyi, A. G1, Raheem, S. B*1, Oladiran, G. F1, Bolaji, W. A1 1. Department of Civil Engineering, The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Nigeria ABSTRACT : This study aimed at comparing the effects of both industrial and local additives on the strength of sancrete blocks. The chemicals that were used .
Cost analysis was performed discovered that the inclusion of the lateritic soil saves the cost of production by %. This percentage replacement can be recommended to the block moulding industries within Ota with a view to reducing the production costs of the blocks. Keywords: Economic block, laterized brick, laterized sandcrete block, lateritic soil. 1. Introduction. A major factor ...
producing stabilized clay bricks as alternative to sandcrete blocks as walling component in building. Against this backdrop, this study carries out a comparative analysis of sandcrete hollow blocks and cement stabilized blocks produced around the OkeBaale area of Osogbo by evaluating their mechanical properties and production cost. 2.

ABSTRACT The sandcrete blocks have been a major material for the construction of structures in Nigeria. This material have provided a means of constructing walls and partition. However, the sandcrete blocks also have the disadvantage of cost and unavailability of materials such as granite, cement and other combining aggregates. Laterite, a readily
