    Terracotta hollow blocks are used for walls and partitions and terracotta tiles are used for roofing. They provide advantages such as less heat transfer, resistance to weathering and acids, and fire resistance. Fly ash, lime, and gypsum mixed bricks are used for walls and structural elements. They are more eco-friendly and lighter than clay bricks. Clay bricks are used for walls and structures due to their durability and compressive strength. Precast ferrocement can be used instead of steel or wood and provides benefits such as low cost, ease of construction, and earthquake resistance.
