Abstract

Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM), commonly referred to as flowable fill, has been used for years as a trench backfill, sub base preparation and to increase the SBC of soil by soil treatment. It is a low strength material in order to make bricks the ingredient materials percentage is varied to achieve more strength. Materials used are cement, GGBS, M- sand and Laterite soil with 0.8 water to cement ratio. Strength and other parameters of bricks were tested such as flow table test, compressive strength test, water absorption, soundness test , impact test, durability test and brick pillar test. Out of 16 trial mix based on compressive strength test result two load bearing and two non- loading bricks were casted and tested. Brick having 20% cement shows high strength and all the bricks of different mixes satisfying IS standards and recommendable.
