Optimizing laterite cement blocks in the construction of masonry using quarry dust This study investigates the optimisation of laterite cement blocks as walling materials using quarry dust Physical properties of experimental soil were determined and other tests such as compressive strength density water absorption were conducted on
Laterite is a surface formation that is enriched in iron and aluminium Found mainly in hot wet tropical areas it develops by intensive and long lasting weathering of the underlying parent rock The mineralogical & chemical composition of laterite depends on their parent rock Indian Standards code IS 3620 1979 provides specifications and
Further the laterite masonry prisms have been observed to have failed by bond failure and subsequent splitting of laterite blocks Also increase in thickness of mortar joint gives rise to a
