Sustainable Development of Housing in Rural Area by the Concept of Interlocking Lightweight Block

Since the last one or two decades there has been many new research done in construction industry. Construction is the industry which is time consuming for completion of project while many of the solutions has been provided to reduce the time consumption of construction. In all this scenario, brick masonry was the area which was under-rated, less research and up gradation has not been done in this area. Interlocking mortar less brick masonry is one of the solution toward this tedious and time consuming area. This report provides somewhat research and solution for this area. Many of the factors have been consider for ease in construction, use of this Block reduces self-weight of structure, reduces cost per product and cost of construction. This method also help in reducing the time of construction with well quality and stability. Material used for production of this Block is cement, fly ash, foam. Block has been casted in specially designed in specially fabricated mould. The concept design and application of this method proves to be effectives and has more sustainable approach towards sustainable construction. Fly ash is considered to be harmful component for environment if kept open to air hence use of it in construction reduces the environmental stress without compromising with the construction quality.
