Ravindhirran Student, School of Civil Engineering, SASTRA Deemed to be University, Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT This study aims to reduce the cost of the BRICKS and usage of clay, cement, sand for brick manufacturing.

2 This paper presents the results of the compressive strength and impact resistance of fly ash BRICKS with the addition of least expensive plastic wastes (FAB-P). India pulverized fuel ash under low lime (Cao<10%) was used, and the constituent of the material is fly ash , cement 10%, regular rounded plastic waste 20-40%, portable water. The FAB-P casted for the dimension of 220 x 103 x 103mm. The cost, water absorption, compressive strength, drop hammer impact strength of clay brick , standard factory outlet fly ash brick (FAB-F); FAB with the addition of plastic waste was compared.

3 It is observed that the plastic added FAB-P have 200% higher impact resistance than the other BRICKS . Also, the compressive strength of FAB-P was improved gradually up to 40% of the addition of plastic material.

INTRODUCTION brick masonry is unavoidable in the construction of residential buildings; in general, burnt clay BRICKS (BCB) used for the masonry construction, day by day the BCB price considerably increased, having demand, less strength and quality issues because of the clay minerals. Hence to save the environment, waste from coal industries and plastic wastes were used to make the masonry fly ash brick . Harjinder Singh Mann et al. [1] FAB manufactured with a high amount of clay materials and these BRICKS effectively react against gamma rays also provide radiation shielding properties, it s found that the clay fly ash BRICKS are feasible eco- COMPARISON of EFFECTIVENESS of fly ash BRICKS with Addition of Plastic Waste 915 friendly compared with normal clay BRICKS .

5 Obada Kayali investigated that the 100% solid ingredient of fly ash BRICKS are 28% lighter than the clay brick and exceeds load carrying of 25% than the normal BCB. et al. [3] inspected the compressive strength of the fly ash BRICKS ; fly ash maintained 15-55% with the addition of lime 5-30%, gypsum 2%, and quarry dust 45-55%. This research concluded the optimum value of mix is Flyash-15%, Lime-30%, Gypsum-2%, Quarry dust-53%. Tabin Rushad. S et al. [4] checked lime soil fly ash BRICKS , seven days compressive strength of lime soil- fly ash BRICKS considerably increased by the application of pressure to the specimen.

6 Also, the optimum mix proportion concluded that the 20:10:70 of Lime: soil: fly ash . Dhrumil S. Chokshi et al. [5] made a comparative assessment of clay BRICKS and fly ash BRICKS . His research state that the fly ash BRICKS are lighter, higher compressive strength, low cost, uniform shape and smooth finishes, less porous, less water absorption (WA), low thermal conductivity, environmental friendly and saving fertile land and groundwater. Ravi Kumar et al.

7 [6] studied the lightweight fly ash brick of ingredient was fly ash , cement, lime, gypsum, and sand if the cement added 0%, 3% and 5% the compressive strength increased 27%, 52%, and 63% respectively. Balaraju sivagnanprakash et al. [7] examine the compressive strength and flexural properties of the fly ash brick , the brick specimen was prepared with fly ash (40%), cement (10%) and quarry dust (50%) , and the results of the testing was proved that the compressive strength 15% higher and flexural strength twice than the conventional clay BRICKS .

8 Srikrishana gurlhosur et al. [8] studied that providing mix proportion of fly ash 50%, lime 20%, sand 30% and superplasticizer 3ml furnished significant variation in compressive strength also the cost of one brick unit was Rupees. Nutan et al.[9] worked for higher strength BRICKS by using fly ash and glass fibre , , , , 1% as the main constituent, results showed that there was a significant improvement in the compressive strength and decrease in water absorption.

9 Tarun Gehlot et al.[10] investigated the fly ash concrete BRICKS with 1:6 and 1:8 cement mortar with the addition of Recron fibre ,1%, ,2%, the research concluded that of added fiber with 12mm mortar thickness reached better compressive strength. Apurva Kulkarni et al. [11] tried with different percentage of fly ash and bagasse 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% replacement for fly ash brick , the research found that the optimum replacement of bagasse was 10% of fly ash .

10 K. Muhammad Nisham et al.[12] attempted to produce the fly ash BRICKS with partial replacement of metakaolin and the research was successful full of replacing the fly ash by 15%, the optimum mix proportion was found class F fly ash 40%, cement 10%, quarry dust 35% and metakaolin 15%. 2. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE This present study is useful for environmental friendly BRICKS using plastics waste into the fly ash BRICKS to upgrade the load carrying capacity to sustain compressively and drop hammer impact loading.
