properties. After reactions between lime and fly ash, calcium silicate
hydrates are produced which are responsible for the high strength of the
compound. Bricks made by mixing lime and fly ash are, therefore,
chemically bonded bricks. These bricks are suitable for use in masonry
just like common burnt clay bricks. These bricks have the following
1) Possess crushing strength more than that of good quality clay bricks
3) Are lighter in weight than ordinary clay bricks. Are less porous than
