Abstract
The construction industry will have an increasing problem in meeting increased demand, and production of construction materials such as bricks, concrete, mortar and steel will expand. Agricultural businesses, on the other hand, generate massive amounts of residues each year all throughout the world, posing concerns about the environment because the majority of these wastes are either burnt or dumped in landfills. Many agricultural waste materials Agricultural waste products have already been employed in a variety of applications such as in concrete, mortar as aggregate, or binding material substitutes. This review examines the use of groundnut shell ash in the manufacture of bricks, cement mortar, and cement concrete. various qualities of bricks, concrete, cement mortar when groundnut shell ashes are added with these materials are examined, and criteria that are related to various standards are compared. Because majority of the created materials meet the specifications, the analysis of literature revealed a visible potential for ground nut shell ash as a Substitution of a portion for materials that are commonly used. However, there is a dearth of research on durability and thermal qualities. Furthermore, existing research is insufficient to determine the wastes' potential for reuse in the manufacture of construction materials. As a result, substantial study is required to reinforce current knowledge in this subject in order to meet long-term objectives in the building business.
Keywords: Environmental pollution, Groundnut shell, Bricks, Concrete, Mortar.
