The experimental study deals with assessment of strength and water absorption of cement stabilized masonry blocks (CSMB) using brick masonry waste as prime ingredient. The brick powder (BP) is recovered from brick masonry waste, and it is used in conjunction with natural fine aggregate (NFA) in production of CSMB units. The size of CSMB specimens corresponds to 190 × 90 × 90 mm as per IS 1725:2013 and prepared by applying compaction pressure of 3.0 MPa. Nine mix compositions are considered by varying BP, NFA as 60:40, 70:30 and 80:20, respectively, with percentage of cement content as 8, 10, and 12. The wet compressive strength of CSMB specimens is determined at end of 28 days, and the test results are statistically analyzed. The average compressive strength of CSMB specimens in wet condition meets the compliance requirement of 3.5 MPa for the different values of prime variants included in the study. The water absorption characteristics are also in compliance with the requirement of being less than 18% in all the cases. BP or NFA content has a relatively minor influence on compressive strength. However, it is still justifiable to blend both of them in 70:30 proportions based on mouldability and availability considerations.
