Dredged sediment can be used in producing bricks for geotechnical engineering
purposes including construction of foundations, retaining walls and roads. This study was
conducted to determine the strength of brick made from dredged sediments and
comparing them with the strength of normal brick. This study was conducted in an
experimental form that involves collecting dredged sediment in the river of Sungai Bebar,
Pahang, Malaysia and the river of Sungai Setiawan, Perak, Malaysia for analysis. It also
involved the use of materials and equipment from laboratory to test the strength of brick.
The results obtained from the analysis of data showed that the strength of brick
exceeded the standard value for ordinary brick in Malaysia’s standard. This support the
fact that the brick made from dredged sediment can be used in Malaysian construction
industry. The result of this study helps to reduce the volume of dredged sediment to be
disposed and to avoid geo-hazards from dredging activities.
