EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF FLY ASH BRICK USING POLYPROPYLENE FIBER

  • Unique Paper ID: 172836
  • PageNo: 2872-2877
  • Abstract:
  • This experimental investigation focuses on enhancing the performance of fly ash bricks by incorporating polypropylene (PP) fibers. Fly ash, an industrial by-product of coal combustion, is utilized to produce eco-friendly bricks with improved mechanical and thermal properties. The study examines the effect of PP fibers on compressive strength, water absorption. Experimental results reveal that the addition of PP fibers significantly enhances the compressive strength and durability of the brick while reducing water absorption. However, improper distribution or agglomeration of fibers can negatively affect brick strength. The investigation also evaluates the influence of fiber parameters, such as length and thickness, along with the curing method on the overall performance.
