Abstract


It is dire necessity of today age to use less cement because hazardous to human health.

Hence in present study cement by lime and other materials in compressed stabilized earth blocks. Different types of materials used were sugarcane baggase, human hair, lime which were replaced by cement with 35%, .The mixture was compressed for1500kg/cm2 and compressive test of 16 CSEB gave excellent result for cement replaced with hair. But sugarcane bagaase is more economical then hair hence sugarcane bagasse gave strength and research required in these area.
