2017-11-8 The extensive use of Sandcrete blocks (SBs) for residential buildings as compared to interlocking bricks (IBs) has significantly increased its cost and has therefore affected the cost of housing delivery in Ghana. The research aimed at comparing the cost of SBs and IBsfor residential buildings in Ghana. The study adopted qualitative and physical measurement methods of data collection on a two ...

Read More2021-9-9 Laterite bricks were manufactured with mix proportion of 2.5% of cement and 3% of Rice Husk by the weight of soil. The proportion of laterite was progressively replaced with fly ash thereby having unlike mix proportions of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% by weight of soil while keeping the quantity of cement and rice husk constant.

They are only 1/3 density of clay bricks. a) The light-weight and high structural integrity of the blocks lessens the usage of steel and reduces the cost of construction. b) The light-weight facilitates easy movement of blocks around the site and shifting to higher levels. The normal size is 220 mm x 100mm x 75 mm.
