  • Abstract:
  • Burnt clay brick is an age old building material which is used for housing in urban area as well as rural part of India. These bricks are manufactured from good plastic clay, which is obtained from agricultural land. Excess use of agricultural land for this clay results in loss of good fertile soil and diversion of agricultural land for brick manufacturing. Manufacturing of bricks involved burning of bricks using coal. Burning of bricks using coal produces green house gases leading to environmental pollution. Fly Ash bricks are an alternative for the conventional bricks which can be used effectively to replace the conventional bricks. Various properties of these bricks were studied by different researchers and they found that these bricks can be used for construction of low cost houses in the area in the vicinity of thermal power plant. This paper is an attempt to study the strength and durability aspect of bricks prepared using Fly Ash, Cement and Phosphogypsum.
