Abstract:
Fly Ash bricks are made of fly ash,
lime, gypsum and sand. These can be
extensively used in all building
constructional activities similar to that
of common burnt clay bricks. The fly
ash bricks are comparatively lighter in
weight and stronger than common clay
bricks. Since fly ash is being accumulated
as waste material in large quantity near
thermal power plants and creating
serious environmental pollution
problems, its utilisation as main raw
material in the manufacture of bricks will
not only create ample opportunities for
its proper and useful disposal but also
help in environmental pollution control
to a greater extent in the surrounding
areas of power plants. In view of superior
quality and eco-friendly nature, and
government support the demand for Fly
Ash Bricks has picked up.
