The growing loss of natural building materials and building of industrial waste have led to a strong demand for environmentally friendly building materials in the construction industry. This paper explores the manufacture of Compressed Stabilized Earthen Blocks (CSEBs) with the inclusion of industrial byproducts like bagasse ash, foundry sand, and red mud as a partial substitute to the traditional soil. The base matrix was made of locally available red soil that had been stabilized using cement and mix proportions were created, by changing the percentage of waste materials, with the binder content kept constant. The experimental program consisted of the characterization of materials, the preparation of blocks through mechanical compaction, and controlled curing. They were tested on compressive strength, water absorption and density in accordance with the applicable standards. The findings suggest that the addition of industrial waste materials considerably enhances the packing of the particles and helps in the formation of strength owing to the pozzolanic reactions. The optimum mix had a high compressive strength and less water absorption relative to the control mix. The developed blocks are also found to have less cost and environmental impact as compared to the traditional burnt clay bricks. The research establishes that waste-based CSEBs can be used as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective substitute to the current construction processes, especially in low-cost housing construction.
