INCORPORATION OF GRANITE AND MARBLE POWDER WASTE IN FLY ASH BRICKS

Abstract

Building industries are the support for infrastructure development in India. The various By-products produced from industries grounds pollution in India. It has a major effect in the healthier environment of the Nation. The combinations of fly ash bricks havea mixture of percentage of the fly ash, granite and marble powder. In India thermal power plants and granite production are generating fly ash and granite dust in huge quantities. Industrial waste are destructive in nature, their disposal is of major concern. Recycling  such  wastes  by  exploiting  them  into  building  materials  is  a moderate resolution for the pollution problems. The search was carried out by various mix ratios using the laboratory test likes compression test, water absorption test. For strength characteristics, the results exposed that a frequently increase in compression strength, water absorption values in blocks was good while comparing the features compressive strength of bricks. The ceramic powder is mixed as bricks 5%, 10% and 15% of each mix proportions. To find materials properties, Water Absorption Test, Efflorescence Test, Soundness Test, Structure Test, Size and Shape Test, Density Test, Structural Strength were noted the ranges value of the specimen to compare the optimum dosage of ceramic powder.
