Experimental Studies on Fly Ash Based Lime Bricks
Fly Ash bricks can be extensively used in all building constructional activities similar to that of common burnt clay bricks. The fly ash bricks are comparatively lighter in weight and stronger than common clay bricks. Since fly ash is being accumulated as waste material in large quantity near thermal power plants and creating serious environmental pollution problems, its utilization as main raw material in the manufacture of bricks will not only create ample opportunities for its proper and useful disposal but also control environmental pollution to a greater extent in the surrounding areas of power plants. This paper addresses the technology of making FaL G mortar compressed bricks with low calcium (Class F) dry fly ash as the base material. The FaL G bricks were prepared without the use of conventional cement. Quarry dust and sand were used as fine aggregates as sustainable materials. The properties of FaL G masonry hollow blocks were determined for different parameters. The experimental results reveal that the FaL G bricks are suitable to be used for the construction of masonry structures. The object of this project is to represent the information regarding Fly Ash bricks and plant, properties and their uses in a most concise, compact and to the point manner. And also in this project various laboratory experiments were carried out on fly ash bricks samples. Some of them are Compressive strength study, water absorption study etc.
