Popis:	The construction practices of today demands production of alternative building materials, which consume less energy and can be used for construction. One such material is the babul tree sawdust bricks. In this work, the babul sawdust is prepared using the locally available babul tree in India. Hence, an attempt is made to stabilize these blocks using clay and sawdust. The saw dust percentage has been varied from 0 to 50% by weight. The results show the variation in properties such as compressive strength, initial rate of absorption and water absorption are studied and compared.
