Fly Ash Bricks
Fly ash brick (FAB) is a building material, specifically masonry unit, containing class C fly ash and water.The manufacturing method saves energy, reduces mercury pollution, and costs 20% less than traditional clay brick manufacturing.Application
High strength with practically no breakage during
transport and construction usage.
Light in weight and yet with higher compressive
strength as compared to red bricks.
Less porus and hence reduces water seepage.
Reduces environmental pollution.
Advantages
The bricks are uniform in shape, size,therefore require less mortar in brick work,
Saves agricultural land which is used for manufacturing clay bricks,
Less energy intensive compared to clay bricks and helps in keeping clean environment,
Plaster thickness required will be less compared to clay bricks, this saving of cement mortar,
It uses fly ash, which is by- product of thermal power stations,
It can be manufactured at construction site also.
