Experimental Study on Utilization of Masonry Debris in Fly Ash Brick

One of the basic building material is brick which is used as a unit in construction of walls of a building. Now-a-days there are various types of bricks used in construction like Fired clay brick, Fly ash brick, Hollow block, Solid block etc. The most commonly used bricks are Fired clay bricks which contain silica, alumina, lime, iron oxide and magnesia in definite proportions. Due to limited availability of natural resources and rapid urbanization, there is a shortfall of conventional building construction materials. On the other hand, energy consumed for the production of conventional building materials pollutes air, water and land. To overcome this problem we done an experimental research to replace natural resources with the waste unmanaged construction and demolition waste. Masonry Debris can be utilized to produce a new green brick to save the natural resources. Trial bricks of size (230×100×60) mm were tested with different proportions of Masonry Debris replacing M-Sand by 10%, 15%, and 25% by overall weight with a constant percent of Fly ash.
