Abstract
This paper aimed at determining the properties of mud brick stabilized with sugarcane peel ash. This is done with the opinion of finding beneficial use of the peels in the production of sustainable cheap and environmental-friendly brick. The lateritic soil used in this study was obtained at Ajegunle (6o53’20.44”N, 3o10’55”E), Ogun State, Nigeria while the sugarcane peel (SCP) was obtained from a waste dump at Papalanto (6o53’20.44”N, 3o13’50.98”E),Ogun State, Nigeria. The SCP was dried, calcined and used as a partial replacement to lateritic soil in the production of mud brick at 0, 2, 4, 6% by mass in this research and the compressive strength, water absorption, capillarity and erosion resistance tests were performed in accordance with ASTM C67 and New Zealand Standard NZS 4298 (1998) on the bricks to determine its suitability as building unit. The compressive strength increased considerably from 3.05to 3.72 MPa at 28 days between 0% and 6%, the erosion resistance also improved from a penetration of 1.75 to 0.95mm/min at 28 days, water absorption reduced from 38.8% at 0% addition of SCPA to 27.8% at 6% at 28 days while water capillarity also reduced from 76mm to 63mm from 0% and 6% respectively at the 28 day. Therefore, SCPA possesses the ability to enhance the quality of lateritic mud brick.
