Perceived Problems and Prospects on Acceptability of Industrial Waste Sludge As An Alternative Component for Bricks Making

Abstract

This paper shows the perceived problems that the manufacturers might encounter in producing bricks using industrial waste sludge as an alternative component. These include the mechanical, thermal, and physical problems. The above-mentioned issues are directly and/ or indirectly affect the acceptability of the bricks in the said manufacturing companies. And each owners or prospects have different view on those factors, whether it is acceptable or not in their standard. Those issues will lead to the conservative way of producing bricks using industrial waste sludge as an alternative component that will be used in home construction, as in wall decoration, roofing, and even flooring. For its approach, the research used descriptive research methods including document analysis as well as statistical analysis of all the data gathered. For the population of the study, the research used random sampling technique in identifying the respondents of the study. These respondents are engineers, managers and experts in the production and selling of commercial bricks
