Abstract:

 

 

                             In this paper, effort have been made to study the different proportion percentage of fly ash bricks and been compared with traditional red bricks. Various test such as tolerance, water absorption, efflorescence and compressive strength test were conducted both fly ash as well as red bricks. In the experimental study we found that fly ash bricks are much stronger and absorb less water than fly ash bricks. We even have find the optimum percentage of fly ash to be used in a composition to get good strength while keeping the composition economically feasible.

Key words- Cement, Fly ash, Fly ash bricks, stone dust, red bricks.
