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. 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- casted for the dimension of 220 x 103 x 103mm. The P 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. 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 unavoidable in the construction of residential buildings; in general, burnt is 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, that the clay fly ash bricks are feasible eco- it’s found
