Introduction
of Fly Ash Bricks
Fly ash blocks are a building material, specifically masonry units, containing
class C or class F fly ash and water. Compressed at 28 MPa and cured for 24
hours in a 66 °C steam bath, then toughened with an air entrainment agent, the
bricks last for more than 100 freeze-thaw cycles.
In other
word it is a masonry unit that is used in the construction of buildings. They
are considered to be a part of good and affordable building materials. They
contain Class C fly ash and water.
Raw
Materials Used For The Manufacturing of Fly Ash Bricks:
- Fly ash – It is the primary ingredient in fly ash bricks.
- Sand or Stone dust – as
fine aggregate
- Lime – source of calcium
carbonate which results in the bricks being called “Self-cementing bricks”.
- Gypsum – to enhance the
fineness of the shape of the bricks
- Cement – It increases the strength and bonding.
Fly ash
reacts with lime in the presence of moisture to form calcium silicate hydrate
which is the binder material. The raw mix is molded in the molding
press/machine, pressed under a pressure into bricks. Then fly ash bricks are
withdrawn from the molding machine and they are air-dried under the sun and
kept for 1 day.
The ratio
of raw material for Fly Ash bricks is depends on the process and the
ingredients. A fly ash brick with over 70% or even 90% ash can achieve a
compressive strength of over 120 kg/ cm 2 or 12 N if made with modern methods.
It will be lighter in weight and almost half in thermal conductivity. Hence
will pay itself back in cooling / heating cost savings. Remember higher the
amount of Ash in brick lighter it is and lower is the thermal conductivity. A
good quality fly ash brick or block should have at least 70% ash and a
compressive strength of at least 8N or 80 kg /cm2 and thermal conductivity of
less than 0.5 W / m2K.
