Compressive Strength of Fly Ash Brick with Geopolymer Brick

摘要

Bricks are important building material and in India about 140 billion bricks are annually produced. Majority of the people prefer burnt brick for the construction purpose which emits nearly about one ton of CO2. Brick making, causes serious environmental pollution and health problems. Brick burning largely influence the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. To avoid all this environmental threats an attempt was made to study the behavior of bricks manufactured using, different materials like Fly Ash, Sand, Cement, Glass, Geo-Polymer. Now in the present days the increase in the popularity of using environmental friendly, low cost and lightweight construction materials in building industry. The aim of present research was to compare the compressive strength and water absorption of the bricks with adding the glass and geopolymer. Different percentage of materials were....
