Abstract: Egypt, produce about 1.35 and 5 Tg., of sugarcane bagasse "SB" and cement kiln dust "CKD" as a solid waste and by-products from sugarcane and cement industries. Adding economical value of these wastes by incorporating them, as green construction materials, is an efficient method to diminish the environmental pollution, and protect the raw materials from depletion, leading towards sustainable and economical solution. The experiment was carried in order to create a new mix, to produce eco- friend bricks, by incorporated "SB" at different sizes "PS" + CKD in different ratio, with main components of cement bricks mixture. Bulk density "?" and superficial density "?S", sound insulation "Si", expansion rate "Ep", water absorption "WA" and initial rate of absorption "IRA", and compressive strength "??" of these bricks were evaluated. Increasing sugar cane bagasse replacement percentage "SBrp" and "PS" reduced bricks "?" and "Sd", and increasing "Si", resulting in lighter bricks with more soundproofed. Both "Ep", "WA" and "IRA" were increased by increasing "SBrp" and "PS". So, all bricks can be effectively used as moderate weathering resistant, except only bricks with 10 and 15%., of SBrp at PS2, also, all bricks must be wetted before laying to avoid water suction from past of cement mortar, except specimen with 5%., SBrp at PS1. Thus, all bricks are accepted as non-carrying building bricks, and as carrying bricks (for load bearing), except bricks with 5%., of SBrp at PS2.
