INTRODUCTION

 Sludge is a semi-solid slurry and can be produced as sewage sludge from wastewater
treatment processes .
 Sludge is semi-solid material that is produced as a by-product during sewage treatment of
industrial or municipal wastewater.
 brick is building material used to make walls, pavements and other elements in masonry
construction.
 A brick can be composed of clay-bearing soil, sand, and lime, or concrete materials.
CONCEPTS

 The concept of sludge brick is to make bricks with waste material like sludge.
 The sludge brick concept was first used in the year 1889.
 Thomas Shaw's invention covered the use of sludge as an addition to bricks, tiles, blocks
and other building materials.
 Port Elizabeth brickworks in South Africa has been making sludge bricks since 1979.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

 Conservation of natural resources.

 To give better environment to the town.
 Economical design and light weight product.
 Reduce in construction cost.
 To examine the effect of dry sludge in brick properties.
 Reduce pollution .
NEEDS AND SCOPE

 To check the feasibility of sewage sludge as ingredient in brick making.

 Conservation of natural resources like clay.
 To make eco-friendly low cost and durable construction material.
 The dry sludge was dried at natural sun light.
 The dry sludge used to produce different type brick.
 The use of dry sludge in several types of concrete mixes was investigated.
METHODOLOGY

LITERATURE REVIEW
 Literature pertaining to utilization of dry sludge in brick will be reviewed from published papers in
journals, code practice and standard book to find out the research gap.

DATA COLLECTION
 Data will be collected pertaining to available methodologies and applications of dry sludge used in
the brick.

DATA ANALYSIS
 Based on the collected data analysis will be made to find out the most suitable methodology that
can be applied for replacement of dry sludge in brick as soil.
 It is required to study the compressive strength, water absorption, weight and other aspects as well as
economical as parts in detail inform the stakeholders for maximizing its use.
APPLICATION

 It is widely used In small construction like residential buildings.

 This is bricks is eco-friendly, strong and durable.
 The bricks can contain up to 30% sludge.
 Bricks formed using this method have adequate crushing strength, hardness and water
absorption.
 This bricks are mostly used in foreign countries.
MATERIAL USED

 SAND
 CLAY
 LIME
 FLY ASH
 WATER
 DRY SLUDGE
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
 Economical  Time consuming construction
 Hard and durable  Cannot be used in high seismic zones
 Compressive strength is good enough for
ordinary construction  If more sludge material is used than brick
will lose its strength
 Due to sludge the cost of bricks becomes
cheap  Very Less tensile strength
 Highly fire resistant  Cleaning brick surfaces is a hard job
 Produces less environmental pollution during
manufacturing process
CONCLUSION

 Its plastic limit is a zero.

 Dry sludge is available free of cost so, we will reduce cost of brick. After doing the
practical we judge some properties are match with soil.
 In this project we have incorporated the use of Dry Sludge in brick up to 50% by replacing
soil. (Dry Sludge 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%)
