        abstract = {Brick is the most widely used building material in the field of construction. Brick is manufactured locally and has been emphasized all over the world because of their easy availability and low cost. Brick is one of the important materials in the construction of which is widely used and highly demand in the construction of a structure in the civil engineering sector.  Brick is one of the most demanding masonry units. It has the widest range of products. However, the consumption of natural resources such as sand in brick production resulted in resource depletion, environmental degradation, and energy consumption. The present use of cement is evaluated to be around 12 million tons per year and is yet expanding day by day.The production of cement is very hazardous to the environment as itproduces heat and an excessive amount of CO2.Carbon dioxide emissions are a serious environmental problem in cement production. It is a well-known fact that the production of one-ton cement exhaust around one ton of carbon dioxide directly into the atmosphere.In this project, we will see the solution for this problem. In this study, brick clay has been replaced with Groundnut shell powder and Tapioca cassava powder. These groundnut shell powder and Tapioca cassava powder will reduce carbon footprint, reduce resource depletion, reduce environmental degradation and energy consumption is increased.So the bricks with groundnut shell powder and Tapioca cassava powder has been analyzed for various parameters.},
