INTRODUCTION:

The massive requirement has been positioned on the building industry, specifically in the last decade due to extensiveamplifyinairpollutionwhichmotiveachronicscarcityofconstructingresources.Oneabsolutepossibilityisthe use of municipal strong waste and agriculture waste as a building material. Bricks are viewed to be one of the most tremendous ancient building substances in the building industry. Due to the increase in population a fast increase in the demandfordevelopmentbuildingsubstanceshasoccurred.Inordertomeettheneedsoftheincreasinghousingdemand, thereisanexponentialneedforthemanufacturingofmasonrybricks. Theimmoderateusageoftheearthsubstancesthat are utilized for production of fired bricks consequences in huge depletion of the natural resources and also high power consumption.Useofmunicipalstablewasteandagriculturewasteinbricksextraordinarilyreducestheproportionofclay in bricks through supplying suitable strength. The traditional substances which are predominantly used in construction process, such as concrete kind bricks, hollow type blocks, strong blocks, pavement type blocks and flooring tiles are generatedfromthealreadypresentnaturallyavailableresource

EXPERIMENTATION:

Material Selection and its Properties:

For manufacturing Eco bricks, soil, plastic waste, solid & agricultural waste, bagasse and water is essential material.Hereincaseofordinarybricksplasticwaste andsolidwasteisnotusedandonotherhandinEcobricksplastic wasteandsolidwasteisused

Soil : Bricksaremainlymadefromsoil.Soilbricksrequireasoilwithclayandsandcombinationofnotlessthan50%by weight. The three major types of soil found in India are Alluvial soil, Black cotton soil and Red soil. Alluvial soilcontains around 20% to 30% clay and are good for brick making. The black cotton soil needs to be blended with other additives beforebeingused.Redsoilsdonotmakegoodbricksduetotheircoarseandlowplasticity.

Municipal Solid Waste and Agricultural Waste : Municipal solid waste is any non liquid waste that is created by an individual person, household, small business or institution. Agricultural waste is a waste produced as a result of various agriculturaloperations.

An analysis of the above results shows that, for adding 10% waste in the brick gives higher compressive strength with respect to conventional brick & other. After increasing the waste in the brick, the compressive strength decreases gradually.
