Synopsis "Using of industrial waste materials for preparation of green bricks (in English)"
In India, several waste materials are produced by different manufacturing industries, thermal power plants, etc. From those industries, wastes are disposed of in the land causes a serious impact on the environment and human lives. Using those industrial waste by-products in the bricks may contribute to the preparation of green bricks, exhausting of natural resources, conservation of non- renewable resources, by using waste materials often cause cost reduction, energy-saving and few hazards in the environment, Also, continuous removal of topsoil, in producing conventional clay bricks, creates environmental problems. So, for reducing the pollution and cost of construction, improving the strength and properties of clay and fly ash bricks with waste materials like fly ash, quarry dust, lime, etc.The various waste materials used in the preparation of clay and fly ah bricks are respectively fly ash, glass powder, ceramic powder, lime powder, eggshell powder, quarry dust. These waste materials are used with increasing amounts in conventional burnt clay and fly ash bricks for producing green and innovative building material.An experimental study was undertaken on these green bricks.
