In this experimental investigation the required numbers of test bricks were moulded for the various percentage proportionate of laterite soil, such as, 91%, 90%, 89%, and 88%, stabilized with various percentage of cement stabilizer viz 4, 5, 6 and 7%, respectively, along with 5% addition of sand constantly; compacted with a hydraulic press paver block and brick making machine. Based on the obtained results laterite soil bricks can be used as a substitute to conventional burnt clay bricks.References
