FLY ASH BRICK MATERIA LS ARE CONTAINI NG CLASS C FLY ASH AND
Manufacturing process of clay flyash bricks by manual or extrusion process involves mixing of flyash (60 %) with clay of moderate plasticity
CLAY FLYASH-
The material can be produced in a variety of building blocks, bricks and tiles, depending on local markets and regulations
The process is similar to the one in the conventional tile industry: fly ash is mixed with less than 10 % plastic clay and a few additives and tiles, bricks or blocks are pressed
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY
Thermal conductivity is 0.90-1.05 W/m2 C (20-30% less than those of concrete blocks). These bricks do not absorb heat; they reflect heat and gives maximum light reflection without glare.
These blocks are highly durable, after proper pointing of joints, the bricks can be directly painted in dry distemper and cement paints, without the backing coating of plaster. Rectangular faced with sharp corners, solid, compact and uniformly Water absorption is 6-12% as against 20-25% for handmade clay bricks, reducing dampness of the
walls
Structural Capability
These bricks can provide advantages being available in several load-bearing grades, savings in mortar plastering, and giving smart looking brickwork. High compressive strength eliminates breakages/wastages during transport and handling, the cracking of plaster is reduced due to lower thickness of joints and plaster and basic material of the bricks, which is more compatible with cement mortar

FLY Ash
For production of good quality Fly Ash Bricks (FAB), fly ash should conform to its chemical and physical requirements
Sand/Stone dust
Deleterious materials such as clay and silt in sand/stone dust shall not be more than 5%
Lime
I ) The sludge lime contains extraneous materials. II) It is generally wet. III) It contains lumps. IV) It is difficult to know the % of available lime (as CaO).
Gypsum
Chemical or mineral gypsum can be used for making Fly Ash Brick. The gypsum should be free of lumps and having purity to about 60%.
Cement
Ordinary Portland cement of 43/53 grade can be used in place of lime and gypsum. Since it is a factory finished product and thus generally does not require any testing.

FUTER SCOPE
Fly ash for construction of roads and embankments. Feasibility study of the large scale Fly ash brick manufacturing units.
