The increase in construction costs has resulted in the shortage of decent housing in Kenya. As a result, the majority of the population lives in substandard housing. One way of reducing the cost of housing is by replacing the mortared masonry units with dry-stack hollow masonry units. In this study, Dry-stack hollow Sandcrete Blocks (DHSBs) were developed by utilizing blended sand (30% marine ...

Concrete with, up to 40% replacement for sand by lateritic fine aggregate achieves the design strength of 20 MPa. Further increase in laterite leads to decrease in strength of concrete. Many researchers have used laterite as fine aggregate replacement in concrete and they got adverse results in terms of workability or compressive strength.

However, for other replacement levels, water curing was adequate for 10 % and 30 %, sand at 10 %, and sawdust for 20 % and 30 %, respectively. On the other hand, for the Activated Laterite soil (ALS), the 20 MPa design strength was met only at 0 % replacement for all curing methods. Sawdust medium at 10 % also satisfied the 20 MPa strength.
