Interlocking Brick DesignParadigm for Sustainable Construction
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Recent change in mode of construction industry can be make out with the increasing demand of cement , cement mix product like concrete and clay bricks. All this increased demands for material is result of growth in world population .However, this growth and urbanisation is unstoppable but the demand for such resource consumptions needs to be balance so as to balance ecosystem and environment. This can only be achieved with the concept and implementation of sustainability. The study done and shown in this paper is one such paradigm towards sustainability. The study is done on the concept, modelling of interlocking brick and its strength parameters are checked by laboratory testing and computations method. When the comparison is done for the model made up of conventional clay wall and interlocking brick wall, the strength, durability of later one proved to be much more as compared to initial one. Further study reflected that the application of interlocking brick specified below not only increases strength but also decreases the quantity of mortar required for bonding of wall units. Application of such bricks leads to reduction in material consumption, reduction in environmental pollution, increase in strength and durability of structure, creating an example for sustainable approach towards construction methodology.
