  • Abstract:
  • In this study focus has been given in the construction of bricks with utilization fly ash and waste plastic. An effort has been made towards the use of these waste materials to be utilized as construction materials. Clay bricks are common in use and these days fly ash bricks are also being introduced in large scale. So, in this research work an experimental study has been conducted to construct a fly ash and plastic waste based brick. Fly ash, cement, sand and plastic waste were used to prepare the material of brick construction. Three different combinations have been adopted, fly ash used in 50%, 45% and 40% ranges and plastic waste was 5% in all three combinations. Compressive strength test was performed and found that strength of waste material based bricks were good enough to construct a brick.
