Fly ash bricks are advanced technology bricks that are comparable to clay bricks. Fly ash bricks are made by adding fly ash, gypsum, lime sand, cement, and water And water, compressed at 28 Pa (272atm) and cured in steam for two days. The last bricks are left to dry and after 7 days it should be tested for compression testing. Fly ash bricks are manufactured by using 80 % of ash that is generated from the thermal power station which is a totally waste material. This ash like a fine glass powder and consisting of silicon dioxide (SiO2), aluminum dioxide Al2 O3), and iron dioxide Fe2O3). Raw material required for fly ash bricks Fly ash bricks are mainly made of ash, which is obtained by thermal power stations and other places, 80 - 82% ash is mixed to make fly ash brick, ash is like powder to bind it. It is very important to mix plastic clay or cement. The second raw material is lime, after that, it is very important to add lime which reacts with silica and alumina which are already pres...

The ratio of mortar  for Brick Masonry  9-inch brickwork   - 1: 6 4.5-inch brickwork - 1: 4   Also Read:- What is Ratio and how to calculate cement and sand wall? Sand cement ratio must be as per instruction if the sand ratio is more then it will decrease the strength of mortar and increase the setting time. Ensure that all the joints in brickwork must be alternate or staggered from the previous joint and the frog face of brick must be upward while lay bricks for brick masonry. The most important thing is to be noted that all the layers of brick m...
