This document discusses the aim of designing cost effective bricks using waste materials without compromising strength or durability. The objectives are to minimize material handling costs and produce affordable bricks. There is a need for alternate materials as traditional production cannot meet demand. Advantages of these bricks include being economical since raw materials are easily available, hard, durable, and having good compressive strength for ordinary construction. They also reduce waste and have low maintenance costs. Technologies used include making high strength bricks from plastic, economical and eco-friendly bricks from glass and clay, load bearing bricks from fly ash, and bricks with thermal and acoustic properties from rice husk ash.

1. COST EFFECTIVE
BRICK

2. AIM
• To design innovative cost effective bricks

3. OBJECTIVES
• Minimize cost of material handling.
• Production of cost effective brick with waste
materials without compromising the strength,
durability and comfort and elegance of
materials.

4. RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC
• Need for Alternate Materials
• In the situation when the production of
traditional materials cannot be increased to
rates for all sections of the society.

5. • Substitutes also help in reducing the cost thus
bringing the materials at affordable .
• Match the demand for holding the price level it
becomes necessary to search for substitutes
without compromise on performance and
durability of the material.

6. ADVANTAGES
• Economical (Raw material is easily available).
• Hard and durable.
• Compressive strength is good enough for
ordinary construction.
• Reduce the amount of waste and its disposal
will be effectively maintained.

7. • Very low maintenance cost is required.
• Demolishing of these brick structures is very
easy, less time consuming.
• Highly fire resistant.
• Produces less environmental pollution during
manufacturing process.

8. TECHNOLOGY USED
• High compressive strength brick is made
using plastic .
• Highly economical , eco friendly bricks with
minimum physical damage can be made using
glass and clay bricks .

9. • High load bearing and cost effective brick can
be made using fly ash.

10. • Bricks with better structural, thermal and
acoustic properties can be made using rice
husk ash.
