Mud-Concrete is a novel concept which employs a form of ‘Concrete’ produced using soil, cement and water. The initial concept of developing Mud-Concrete was to incorporate both the strength and durability of concrete into mud-based constructions to introduce a low-cost, load-bearing wall system with...

The urgency of global climate emergency has drawn significant attention to the building industry over the last few years. Today, the building sector is responsible for 38% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to UNEP. 60% -70% of embodied carbon in a conventional column-beam reinforced...

There is a shortage of sand for construction worldwide and the need of the hour is to find alternatives to river sand for sustainable and cost-effective construction. Soils, which generally have 40-50% sand content are an obvious choice. However, it should be noted that the top soil, which is essent...

In response to the pressing need for environmentally responsible waste management, this research delves into the potential applications of bauxite residue, commonly called red mud, a by-product of the Bayer process employed in aluminum extraction, within concrete-based applications. This study explo...

Earth is the most primitive and traditional construction material which was used effectively with natural additives as admixtures from the ancient construction period. The zero-carbon footprint of this construction material makes it environment-friendly, economical, and sustainable. The overview on ...
