520 3 |a The United States of America could build 20,000 bases for the Statue of Liberty every year using its construction and demolition waste, and 456 bases using waste glass from jars and bottles. However, some sectors of the population still face a shortage of affordable housing. The challenges of disposing of such large amounts of waste and solving the housing shortage could be addressed together if these materials, considered part of a closed-loop system, were integrated into new building blocks. This research studies compressed earth blocks that incorporate soils and gravels excavated in situ, river sand, crushed concrete from demolition waste, and recycled glass sand. To stabilize the blocks, cement is used at 5, 10, and 15% (by weight). The properties studied include the following: density, apparent porosity, initial water absorption, simple compression, modulus of elasticity, and thermal conductivity. Optical image analysis proved to be a tool for predicting the values of these properties as the stabilizer changed. To assist in decision making regarding the best overall performance of the total 12 mix designs, a ranking system is proposed. The best blocks, which incorporate the otherwise waste materials, exhibited simple compression values up to 7.3 MPa, initial water absorption of 8 g/(cm2 × min0.5) and thermal conductivity of 0.684 W/m·K.
