Investigation on properties of fly ash bricks
In modern era, geo-polymer fly ash based bricks are abundantly utilized in numerous constructional projects instead of normal clay bricks from last few years. The main objective is to illustrate the silent feature regarding fly ash chemical property and use of this in construction similar to burnt clay bricks. Numerous laboratory tests along with field experiments are toted out on such waste material bricks like compressive strength testing, water absorption by bricks, hardness test, efflorescence test, soundness test, physical structure test, crushing strength test to compare properties with common clay burnt bricks. Bricks are always counted in the basic requirement before any construction starts. By the idea of future estimation with the help of previous data, Soil for manufacturing of these bricks would not be so sufficient in quantity because, need for land is shot up nowadays. In this particular condition, geo-polymer fly ash bricks will contribute to tackle this major issue because such bricks are prepared using raw material from industrial waste such as paper mills. Furthermore, nowadays the constructional structures are counted heavier, the utilization of fly ash and other waste material from industries in production of bricks are considered in a more productive way as they found light in weight and high strength if compared with clay bricks.
AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON PROPERTIES OF FLY ASH BRICKS
In fast growing today’s world development of new building materials and Processing & utilization of industrial waste is being given the top priority in the program of building research at a very high rate. This is important for achieving maximum disposal of wastes and conservation of scarce resources and materials. The bricks produced were about 29% lighter than clay bricks. The compressive strength of bricks manufactured from fly ash possessed higher than 20 MPa. This generally exceeds the best of load carrying clay bricks available by more than 25% and is several times better than acceptable commercially available common clay bricks. Other important characteristics of the fly ash bricks have been evaluated. The values of these characteristics for fly ash bricks are excellent and have exceeded those pertaining to clay bricks. Moreover, fly ash bricks have been produced with a naturally occurring reddish colour similar to that of normal clay bricks. The new bricks and process have been patented. This dissertation presents the results of testing and the advantages gained by this type of fly ash bricks over conventional clay bricks. In the present study, the effects of fly ash on the properties of bricks are studied and the behaviour of fly ash bricks is compared with conventional burnt clay bricks. The various properties of fly ash bricks with different materials were tested. The properties studied water absorption, hardness, efflorescence, soundness, shape and size, crushing strength and basic compressive strength of the prism using different mortar mixes normally 1: 3, 1: 4 and 1: 5 cement-sand mortars. In general bricks are made by top fertile agricultural soil but by using fly ash, 28 percent of top fertile agricultural soil is saved. Use of fly ash in brick making also is beneficial in diverse ways. As compared to conventional clay bricks fly ash bricks are stronger, more durable and yet more economical. Also, the process of fly ash brick manufacturing results in lesser pollution. Being less permeable as compared to clay bricks dampness related issues are far lesser in case of fly ash bricks than their clayey counterparts.

A Preliminary Study on Importances of Fly-Ash Bricks and Clay
With the change of habits, choice as well as the change of the society the demand of Fly-Ash Bricks are gradually increasing day by day in the metropolitan cities. Fly-ash bricks are slow but surely replacing conventional clay bricks for constructions. It is green and environmentally friendly material. The fly ash bricks are comparatively lighter in weight and stronger and less costly than common clay bricks. Fly-ash Bricks is low value and high volume product and transporting it over long distances is uneconomical. But due to less awareness of fly ash bricks the different agencies of the construction wing using clay bricks. This research paper presents a comparison of fly-ash bricks and clay bricks. Based on Fly-ash bricks and clay bricks data collected, then analysis can be done by using statistical methods (SPSS SOFTWARE).Such a research study may prove to be beneficial to all the agencies involved in construction and also act as a foundation for future research studies.
To Study the Strength Characteristics of Bricks Made with Fly Ash
Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering, 2019
The conventional bricks are generally made up of clay as its principal constituent. The urbanization and industrialization lead to the use of conventional bricks at a very high rate. Moreover, the rapid increase in population and to meet its needs, new houses, and high-rise buildings are constructed in large numbers, which requires a large number of bricks for its construction. To decrease the extensive use of the clay and finding its substitute is the need of the hour. In the present study, the Fly Ash is used as the substitute of clay and fly ash bricks were made by using fly ash, sand, lime, and Plaster of Paris (POP) in different mix proportions. The fly ash brick specimens of size 230 × 110 × 70 mm were manufactured and various quality parameters like compressive strength at an age of 7 and 28 days, water absorption and dry density were tested. The economical mix design of the fly ash bricks for maximum compressive strength and its rate analysis was also done. It was observed from the results that the compressive strength decreases with increase in fly ash content and increases with an increase in sand and lime content in fly ash bricks. Water absorption value increases with an increase in fly ash content and decreases with increase sand and lime content in fly ash bricks.

A New Approach to the Production of Bricks Made of 100% Fly Ash
A new approach to the production of bricks was carried out by using 100% lignite fly ash. The possibility of fly ash for use as building material was investigated. Pure fly ash and certain amount of mixing water (17.5 mass-%) were used as body composition for the production of brick samples. This work studied the influence of treatments of fly ash, so called, sieved –63+40 µm fly ash, sieved –40 µm fly ash, ground 5h fly ash and ground 10h fly ash on mechanical properties. Test pieces made of –40 µm fly ash showed the superlative strength and were found to be superior in mechanical strength, especially in compressive strength as compared to red-fired clay brick, to common clay bricks and to facing bricks daily used in constructional work. The samples made of other types of fly ashes, in addition, can be superior to red-fired clay bricks and common clay bricks. Other brick properties can reach the specifications as required by market demands.
