Interlocking Stabilised Laterite Bricks as an …
This article will discuss interlocking stabilised compressed laterite bricks as an alternative to sandcrete blocks and fired clay in building constructions in Nigeria. Interlocking Stabilised Compressed Earth Bricks (ISCEB) is encouraged as a good replacement for sandcrete blocks and burnt bricks in building constructions in Nigeria.

Determination of Compressive Strength of Sandcrete Block ...
compressive strength of sandcrete block made with sand, periwinkle shell, laterite and cement. The sand was obtained from Otamiri River at Oweri and is free from dirt. Periwinkle shells were as coarse aggregate augment. Laterite was used in partial replacement of the sand. Ordinary Portland cement was used in this study.

Strength Properties of Stabilised Laterite as Replacement ...
the strength of the sandcrete block when there was a complete replacement of the stabilised laterite with sand in the production of sandcrete blocks. The least strength results obtained showed that for each percentage replacement of sand with stabilised laterite, the minimum compressive strength exceeded that specified by NIS for block production.
comparative cost analysis of laterite bricks and …
Densities of the laterite-cement and sandcrete blocks were determined in accordance with [17] and the results are shown in Table 2. Cost Analysis. Cost analysis at the time of this study was conducted on the basis of one square metre of wall for laterite-cement and sandcrete blocks respectively and the results are shown in Table 2.
