Applications of Fly Ash and Analysis and Design of Fly Ash Brick

Abstract

Today’s industry is striving for better and economic construction material. Fly Ash is one of such material which is obtained as waste material in thermal power plants. Fly Ash brick is one of product made by using Fly Ash. In this article three design of Fly Ash brick using standard size 190X90X90mm for different cross-sectional area is studied using Ansys design tool. In first type of Brick used dimension according Indian standard. From second type of brick, two cubical shape volume is removed and in third type of brick, two cylindrical shape volume is removed. It is found that third (C) type of brick is superior for safety and economic purpose. Fly Ash brick is lighter in weight and have more strength in comparison to clay brick also and it utilizes waste material released in thermal power material in beneficial ways which is good for environment.
