Abstract
Rice is produced on a large scale in the Konkan Region which ultimately results large production of rice husk, which gives rise to disposal problem of rice husk. Mostly rice husk is burnt in the open air and left on the land which makes the land infertile. So to avoid the infertility and decrease the agricultural waste it can be used for manufacturing of bricks which can be used for low cost housing. Bricks using rice husk are more economical than the ordinary brick. The aim of the research is to study the bricks with the composition of clay and rice husk ash. Comparative adding of the rice husk ash was varied by 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 percentage by weight. Engineering
properties like compressive strength, water absorption, soundness, shape and size have been studied according to Indian Standard Specifications and compared to all other propor
