Abstract

Since economic factors have influenced the construction industry dramatically in recent years and in many parts of the world steel is scarce and expensive, many researchers are searching for low-cost materials as a substitute or alternative for the present situation. Recently, various materials have shown promise for future use as a major construction material. The purpose of this paper is to highlight alternative low-cost building materials for possible use in low-cost housing having advantages on areas such as India where concrete or steel housing is expensive. There are information about various eco-friendly building materials use for low cost housing in this report but there is details information with testing and cost analysis about three materials only. The materials are Adobe bricks, Slag cement and Timbercrete. This project report analyses how the Adobe bricks, Slag cement and Timbercrete blocks pass the various parameter when compared to the standard sized Burnt Clay Brick, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Concrete Blocks. This was conducted by executing various test like compression test & thermal insulation test. The various parameters like weight, strength, manufacturing process, cost, etc were collated by performing respective activities.
