Abstract

India is a developing contrary due to huge need of infrastructure there is demand for that is why construction. In the construction the main material is cement and brick. Bricks are normally made by clay. Clay is main part of productive land. To solve this problem we are making brick by using non conventional (fly ash). This brick is stronger, effective and also economical than the clay brick. This process also helps in converting industrial waste material into quality building material. In the present study we are making four types of non conventional (fly ash) bricks in different percentage of cement such as 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%. And after making these bricks various tests were performed such as compressive strength test, water absorption test, efflorescence and these results were compared with conventional bricks results.

Keywords

Flyash, productive soil, industrial waste, light weight, new building material.
