Abstract
Rice is a prominent crop in Asia and various other regions. Improper disposal of rice husks leads to environmental issues, including pollution of soil, air, and water. Thus, utilising waste materials in block manufacturing can optimise block performance, leading to a more sustainable construction. This research aims to reduce the open burning of rice husks and waste collection from ceramic pot waste. In addition, clay and recycled rice husks are used as alternatives to make Industrialised Building System (IBS) blocks to produce an environmentally friendly product and shorten the installation time. These blocks are evaluated with two different mechanical tests, such as compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). Eighteen (18) sample cubes with dimensions of 100mm x 100mm x 100mm were prepared and assessed accordingly.
