Abstract

In this research, the production of stabilized earth bricks with cement using different percentages of soil, and sand has been studied. Earth brick are used as a replacement of fired clay bricks and concrete bricks. To estimate the effect of these different percentages of component, four percentages with (40% sand, 50% soil, 10% cement), (30% sand, 60% soil, 10% cement), (10% sand, 80% soil, 10% cement) and (0% sand, 90% soil, 10% cement) were used. On the other hand, water curing was used for these mixtures. Modulus of rupture, compressive strength, bulk density and water absorption, for different ages (7, 14 and 28 days) have been tested. There was an improvement in properties of Compressive strength, modulus of rupture and decrease in bulk density.
