Soil-cement bricks have emerged as a sustainable alternative to conventional bricks, offering cost-effectiveness, durability, and reduced environmental impact. This study investigates the production process, mechanical properties, environmental considerations, and economic feasibility of soil-cement bricks compared to conventional bricks. The production of soil-cement bricks involves mixing soil, cement, and water, followed by compaction and curing. This process utilizes locally available soil, reducing transportation emissions and costs associated with sourcing materials. The incorporation of cement enhances the strength and durability of the bricks, making them suitable for various construction applications. Mechanical properties such as compressive strength, flexural strength, and durability are analyzed through laboratory tests and field evaluations to assess the performance of soil-cement bricks. Results are compared to those of conventional bricks to determine structural integrity and long-term viability. Environmental considerations play a significant role in evaluating the sustainability of soil-cement bricks. Unlike conventional clay bricks, soil-cement bricks do not require firing during production, reducing air pollution and energy consumption. This eco-friendly aspect makes them attractive for environmentally conscious builders. Economic feasibility is also assessed to determine the cost-effectiveness of soil-cement bricks. Factors such as material costs, production efficiency, and lifecycle analysis are considered to understand their economic viability compared to conventional bricks.
