BIO BRICK FROM RICE HUSK AND COCONUT PEAT

Abstract

Bio-Bricks from Rice Husk and Coconut Coir: A Sustainable Construction Material This research investigates the potential of producing eco-friendly bio-bricks using a agricultural waste materials: rice husk and coconut coir. These waste products, often discarded, possess inherent properties that can be harnessed for construction purposes. The study explores the optimal composition of rice husk and coconut coir mixtures, along with suitable binding agents, to develop bio-bricks with desirable mechanical properties such as compressive strength and water resistance. By utilizing waste materials, this research aims to contribute to sustainable construction practices while reducing environmental impact. The performance of the developed bio-bricks will be evaluated through comprehensive testing and compared to conventional clay bricks.
