Modeling environmental impact of unfired bricks in India
… developing world. The environmental impact of unfired bricks in India is investigated through modeling the effects of materials composition and processing on energy consumption, carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, and land surface area use. The analysis uses a cradle-to-gate life cycle …

Optimization of Soil-Lime and Cement Mixes for Compressed Earth Stabilized Blocks for Low-Cost Housing in East Africa (Kenya)
… use of lime. Conventional building materials (fired bricks and concrete blocks) have proved to be expensive and unsustainable; stabilized earth is the cheapest of the materials locally available. There is a huge incentive to investigate the use of sustainable and appropriate technologies that …

The Development of Sustainable Lime-Based Building Wall Components
… were then carried out using typical full-size unfired bricks of size 295mm x 140mm x 55mm. These trials demonstrated that all the key parameters of compressive strength, durability and thermal properties were within the acceptable engineering standards for masonry units. Overall, the results …
