Yogesh Gowda [2014][15] An effort for an alternate approach in the manufacturing of brick was
accomplished by using industrial by products like class F fly ash, granite dust and sludge lime as
key ingredientsIn April, 2005 Obada Kayali conducted on “High Performance Bricks from Fly
Ash”. In this research he found the compressive strength of fly ash brick which was 24% better
than good quality of clay bricks.
Ravi Kumar, Vandana Patyal [2014][13] Efforts has been made to study the behaviour of fly ash
bricks by taking different proportions of fly ash, cement, lime, gypsum and sand. Er. Rinku Kumar
and Er. Naveen Hooda conducted on properties of fly ash brick. The crushing strength of clay
bricks was found to be 8.14 N/mm2 and for fly ash bricks was found to be 18.81 N/mm2.

CALCULATION OF VOLUME OF THE MOLD
The weight of different materials used to construct a fly ash brick are given below
Fly ash = 5% = (0.05 × 0.004) = 0.0002 ft3
= (0.0002 × 2.1 × 62.4) = 0.0262 lb =0.0262 × 0.4536 = 0.1189 kg ≈ 12gm
Gypsum = 2% = (0.02× 0.004)×2.31×62.4×0.4536 =5.23 gm ≈ 6 gm
Cement = 20% = (0.20× 0.004) ×3.14×62.4×0.4536 =71.10 gm ≈ 72 gm
Sand =53% = (0.53 × 0.004)×2.67×62.4×0.4536 =160.22 gm ≈ 161 gm

WEIGHT OF MATERIALS ( FOR SA-1)
The weight of different materials used to construct a fly ash brick are given
below
Fly Ash were found to be 50% for 25 Mpa from the previous experiment where
Fly ash was variable.
Fly Ash = 50% =( 0.5×0.004)×2.1×62.4×0.4536= 118.87 gm ≈ 119 gm
Gypsum= 2% = 6 gm
Cement = 20% =72 gm

SAMPLE BRICKS
TESTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
The maximum loading capacity of the machine (C055D concrete compression) is 2000 kN.
For determination of compression of strength, the specimen of various types of bricks were
placed on the lower platform of the testing machine. The compressive load (kN) and
compressive strength (MPa) were recorded at the screen of the machine.

When variable is sand, both air and water curing for 7, 14 and 28 days, the
maximum compressive strength in water curing is more than air curing. In our
study, it is clearly noticeable that the cases where strength increases such as
water curing than air curing and curing time(days) , more fly ash content in the
mix shows our required strength 25 Mpa. So we found sand content for water
curing is more than that of air curing.
