Abstract |
|
It is an experimental study of Compressive strength of high, low and Fly Ash bricks by pertaining the mortar mix constant. Hypothesis of the study is that under compressive loading masonry prism of fly ash bricks compared to low class brick with leaner mortar mix would explicit relatively better performance. The water absorption capacity, efflorescence, compressive strength of bricks was determined in this test. The comparison of Fly Ash brick with low class and high class brick in terms of water absorption capacity and efflorescence gave desirable results. Indeed the Fly Ash brick is not only an eco-friendly choice but also low energy consuming product. |
