PROPERTIES AND STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF SAWDUST INTERLOCKING BRICK

Bricks are broadly utilized in construction and building material around the globe. Conventional bricks are delivered from clay with high temperature kiln firing or from ordinary Portland cement concrete, and in this manner contain high embodied energy and have large carbon footprint. In numerous te...
