Development of Eco-Friendly Bricks Using Industrial and Agricultural Waste

Abstract-One of the most important and often used building materials in masonry construction worldwide is brick. The environmental load brought on by trash deposition can be reduced by making bricks from waste materials. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of adding trash made from rice husk ash. Samples were prepared with different percentages of cement, fly ash, lime, river sand, and rice husk ash. recycling a variety of waste materials, including as fly ash (40 – 60%), rice husk ash (15 – 20%), lime (10%), cement, and river sand (15 – 20%), for use in brick production. The dimensions of the brick specimen are 230 x 110 x 75 mm. Experiments are conducted to examine differences in properties including compressive strength, water absorption, hardness, and soundness. This review will lead to recommendations for additional research on the effects of that waste on bricks’ mechanical and physical properties. The uses of agricultural wastes as cheap and environmental-friendly construction materials are beneficial towards provision of affordable housing in developing country.
