RESEARCH AND DEVELOPEMENT OF BRICK USING WASTE MATERIALS (original) (raw)

The eco-friendly brick is made from recycled industrial waste materials, an environmentally and economically sustainable alternative to clay fired bricks. The burning of conventional burnt bricks is also responsible for emissions of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and suspended particulate matter which causes considerable health problems, especially related to respiration while also causing damages to properties and crops. This project aims to develop unfired, non-structural, binder brick with 100% waste material using fly ash, Stone Dust, Marble Dust, Construction Adhesive to alleviate resources like coal and diesel, preservation of top soil, prevention of harmful emissions and managing the industrial waste. This study is primarily focused on optimization of the compressive strength of newly developed bricks, while minimizing weight density, and water absorption, through extensive laboratory work. This methodology is to consciously produce bricks out of industrial waste based on the characterization, packing, and other engineering properties.
