Project Outcome: Experimental setup
Project Description: This project investigated the relationship between the thickness and strength of bagasse-based products intended as sustainable alternatives to conventional cement or soil bricks. The study focused on understanding how variations in natural binders—such as rice flour, cornflour, sand, mud, lime, cement, and JBC red brick powder—affect the structural integrity and impact resistance of the bricks. The strength was assessed by conducting controlled drop tests from varying heights to simulate real-world conditions. By analyzing the results, the project aimed to identify the most effective binder combinations and optimal thickness for creating eco-friendly, durable construction materials from agricultural waste, contributing to sustainable building practices.
