Critical Review on Types of Bricks Type 10: Flyash Clay Burnt Bricks
Abstract
The manufacturing process uses techniques and equipment similar to those used in clay brick factories. The
bricks produced were up to 10.60% lighter than clay bricks. The bricks manufactured from fly ash possessed compressive
strength more than 5 N/mm2 which is more than normal clay bricks. This exceeds some of the best of load carrying clay
bricks and is several times better than acceptable commercially available common clay bricks. . Fly ash bricks absorb less
quantity of water which is under I.S. requirement. Fly ash clay bricks give nil efflorescence. The values of these
characteristics for fly ash bricks are excellent and have exceeded those pertaining to clay bricks. Moreover, fly ash bricks
have been produced with a naturally occurring reddish colour similar to that of normal clay bricks when added with the clay.
This paper deals with bricks made up of fly ash, clay and water also the paper represent the process of manufacturing and
various tests recommended for such bricks
