---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------3. STUDY WORK Abstract - The most common type of construction material worldwide is brick. Also, we are now having issues with waste that is produced in surrounding regions. So, the goal of our project is to try to find a solution to this issue by creating waste-based brick made up of paper cup and coconut coir. For waste clay is utilized as a binding agent. In addition to making bricks lighter, using coconut coir and paper cup follows best practices for handling solid waste. We tried to lower the percentage of clay in this brick. We try make this brick dam proof for this we are using the banana leaves as a damp proofing agent this method is called as ‘Decoction Method.’
3.1 What exactly is brick? The primary building material used to create walls, pavements, and other masonry construction element is the brick, sand, lime, concrete, fly ash, and clay are some of the other element used. The dimensions of normal clay brick vary from country to country, but in India it is roughly 9 inches long, 4 inches wide and 3 inches thick.
Key Words: Bricks, Banana Leaves, Coconut Coir, Dam proofing, Decoction Method, Paper Cup, Waste Material
1. INTRODUCTION As it is a common knowledge, bricks are a key component of construction project. Bricks are produced in approximately over 1400 billion unit per year throughout the world, and it is anticipated that demand will continue to increase. Soil and other element make up the majority of conventional bricks, which are created during high-temperature kiln fire. A lack of soil exist in many nations. Since soil is a natural resource, over extraction will have an adverse effect on the environment. Coconut fibre or coir is used in our brick. Coconut is versatile substance with many application. Use waste paper cup that are produced by cafes, restaurants, and hotels. So that we can decrease the percentage of dirt and also offer waste management solutions. We work to reduce manufacturing costs and brick weight at same time. Also we try to make the brick made by such ingredient damp-proof by using liquid solution of banana leaves.

3.2 Materials used in this brick: A. Alluvial Soil:
Alluvial soil is those that have been dumped along the banks and at the river’s bottom. This soil can be found in alluvial fans, floodplains, and near rivers. Because new silt is frequently deposited at the surface by floods, alluvial soil has a distinctive layered appearance. Round gravel particles come in a variety of sizes and dark and light tints.
Many floodplains create this distinctive layering process, known as stratification. Flooding is the source of alluvial soil. The stream is the source of newly added sediment, which is susceptible to shifts in landscape use.
2. OBJECTIVE
The objectives of this project are as follows :-
1.
To compare strength and weight of clay brick with 2nd class conventional brick.
2.
To compare cost of clay brick with 2nd class conventional brick.
3.
To make dam proof brick by using decoction of banana leaves.
