To achieve the objectives stated previously, several Abstract - The primary aim of this project is to make use of laboratory tests were conducted. By using appropriate apparatus and methods, testing was conducted on the required materials, standard bricks and the bricks with waste foundry sand. The following steps were followed in this project study.
waste foundry sand (WFS) from the foundry industry in the production of bricks. The entire process, from mixing clay to forming bricks, drying, and firing, was carried out under local conditions. By incorporating up to 30% WFS in clay compositions, it was feasible to create bricks with desired characteristics using minimal processing. Bricks containing 30% WFS exhibited a minimum average wet compression resistance of 5.54Mpa and a maximum average water absorption of 20.76% when fired at 900°C. When compared to commercial bricks, there was little difference in apparent porosity, water absorption, and specific gravity of WFScontaining bricks. The inclusion of WFS led to a decrease in the bulk density of the bricks, resulting in a reduction in compressive strength. According to the recommendations of IS 1077 standard specification, WFS bricks can be categorized as class II bricks. These bricks are suitable for use in single-story load-bearing structures as well as in the construction of infill walls in multi-story framed structures.
1.2 Grading of Bricks and Its parameters As per IS: 1077-1957 and 1970 code specifications.
a) Bricks with compressive strength not less than 110kg/cm2 – First class bricks - Grade A-A.
b) Bricks with compressive strength not less than 75kg/cm2 – Second class bricks - Grade A.
c) Bricks with compressive strength not less than
50kg/cm2 – Third class bricks - Grade B. D) Bricks with compressive strength not less than 30kg/cm2 – Fourth class bricks - Grade C
1.INTRODUCTION
1.3 TESTING OF BRICK MATERIAL (SOIL)
Since 80% of India is still undeveloped in 2030, it was projected that the country's building construction industry will expand at a 6.6% annual pace through that time. Bricks and other building materials will become more and more in demand as the construction industry continues to expand.
We will follow different tests on soil as mentioned below 1.Plastic limit 2.Liquid limit 3.Water absorption 4.Soundness test 5.Colour test
The usage of agricultural clay to make bricks, which is crucial for farmers, is a significant issue that India is currently facing. The Indian government forbids the use of agricultural land for brick production, promoting the use of substitute materials in order to preserve the land. With a long and rich history of manufacture dating back to, clay burned bricks are one of the most popular walling materials in India.
1.4 TESTING OF BRICK Using different proportion, we would follow different tests as mentioned below 1.Absorption test 2.Crushing strength test 3.Shape and Size test 4.Soundness test 5.Colour test
1.1 Methodology used This study was carried out for the purpose of having a detailed understanding of the effect and uses of waste foundry sand in bricks and to determine its compressive
