Abstract

Building infrastructure and other amenities causes depletion of natural resources. Researchers are exploring different material for construction other than concrete. The aim of this paper is to examine, evaluate, and disseminate the previous work and to emphasize current research trends and developments. Along with these efforts have been made to highlight applications of the technology in the field. Concrete blocks are formed of various materials, and based on past research, a review and discussion are conducted. Based on new or current case studies, the positive and negative aspect of various materials that are tested and used are described. The concrete stone block, where stones are taken out of nearby demolition rubbish, is given special attention. Recent work is emphasized, and advancements are talked upon.
