Utilization of Waste Materials in Construction Brick

Abstract

Due to the qualities of brick, it is one of the most important and frequently used masonry units which are used in construction as a building material. Numerous attempts and efforts have been made to include wastes such as wood sawdust, rubber, processed waste tea, limestone dust, polystyrene, sludge, and fly ash into the brick manufacturing process. Recycling such trash into materials of construction is a feasible solution to the environmental crisis or pollution related issues. This contribution mentions the recycling of a variety of trash into light weight fly ash bricks. A variety of effectively materials have been explored which can be recycled very easily, as well as effects of these wastage on the physical and mechanical attributes of bricks are studied. The majority of bricks made of various types of waste materials have demonstrated beneficial impacts on the qualities of light weight fly ash bricks.
