Alternative Materials and Technique for Housing Construction

Conventional building materials are heavy and haulage from great distance, which inevitably has to be done for growing cities, has made building materials expensive and scarce More than half of a pucca building is silica and paradoxically this is thrown as waste in vast quantities causing disposal problem for power houses, steel mills, fertilizer and similar industries. The industries are located near cities or they themselves create cities around them and consequently the demand for housing. Hence the logical approach is to process the thrown out silica into building materials and kill two birds at the same time.
