Operational Research in Building Materials with a Detailed Study on Clay Blocks

Abstract

Operational Research In Building Materials With A Detailed Study On Clay Blocks paper presents Fly Ash brick properties, manufacturing process material required for preparing the clay bricks and fly ash bricks as per Indian standard code provisions, inspection and quality control. The textures of the bricks with Fly Ash were very similar to that of clay bricks; the sample with the additive contains spherical Fly Ash particles.

These particles of Fly Ash led to a reduction in the density of the bricks and a substantial improvement in their durability. Use of this additive could have practical implications as a means of recycling and for achieving cost savings in brick production. The absorption coefficient, shape and size, density, weight, porosity, thermal conductivity and compressive strength of Fly Ash bricks compare with normal clay bricks that delivered good results.

Conclusion

Due to digging of the sand from river bed reduces the water head, so less percolation of rain water in ground, which result  in lower  ground water  level.The roots of  the  tree may  not be  able to  get water.The  rainwater flowing in the river contents more impurities. Erosion of nearby land due to excess sand lifting Disturbance due to digging for sand & lifting, Destroys the flora & fauna in surrounding areas The connecting village roads will get badly damaged due to over- loading of trucks, hence, roads become problem to road users and also become accidents prone.
