Abstract

The proposed study involves the experimental investigation of effect of fly ash and rice husk the properties of burnt clay bricks. Determination of properties of the bricks casted with varying proportions of raw materials is taken up to ascertain whether the fly ash and rice husk can be used for the production of brick with use of black cotton soil. On seeing the present day demand for the bricks an attempt is made to study the behaviour of bricks manufactured by using different waste materials like fly ash and rice husk. The main aim of this project is to compare compressive strength, so for this purpose different percentage of materials were separately added fly ash- 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and rice husk-2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% by weight of brick.
