| Abstract | Construction and demolition of old structures generates large quantity of masonry waste in urban areas. This waste is generally diverted towards landfill. In the present study, a sustainable construction material (brick) using construction and demolition (C&D) waste is developed. Cement and fly ash are used as binder and C&D waste is used as fine and coarse aggregates. Construction and demolition waste bricks (eco-bricks) of size 230 mm × 90 mm × 90 mm are developed for the six different compositions (BR90-1 to BR90-6). Physico-mechanical tests (block density, compressive strength and water absorption) are carried out as per Indian standards and embodied energy for the considered compositions is estimated. The test results are compared to commercially available fly ash bricks. The eco-bricks that achieved the least embodied energy is considered as the best combination of sustainable construction material. Amongst the various trials carried out the brick BR90-6 with the ratio of binder, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate as 1:2.75:2.25 exhibit compressive strength and water absorption within the limits of Indian standards with minimum self weight and embodied energy. The developed sustainable product can be practically implemented over any specific location by the manufacturer which serves the purpose of solid waste management. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
