THIS PAPER AIMS TO DEAL WITH UTILIZATION OF WASTE IRON TAILINGS IN BUILDING BLOCKS. THE EXPLOITATION OF MINERAL RESOURCES SUCH AS IRON ORE WOULD PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMY AND SOCIETY, BUT IT GENERATES MASSIVE OVERBURDEN IN THE FORM OF IRON ORE TAILINGS, THAT MAY POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT. THEREFORE, COMPREHENSIVE UTILIZATION OF WASTE IRON TAILINGS IS IMPORTANT IN SAVING RESOURCES, IMPROVING SURROUNDINGS AND FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. MASONRY UNITS MADE OF IRON ORE TAILINGS ARE WIDELY ACCEPTED AS ENERGY EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVES TO BURNT CLAY BRICKS. IN THIS STUDY, ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO INVESTIGATE THE SUITABILITY AND RELIABILITY OF IRON ORE TAILINGS IN MANUFACTURE OF BUILDING BLOCKS.

Iron tailings, compressive strength, Quarry Dust, Alternative Material.
