Use of fly-ash bricks than conventional clay bricks is an environmentally friendly alternative. Fly-ash bricks are cost-effective, strength, crack resistance, low maintenance, durable and eco-friendly. In this project to increase the strength of the fly-ash bricks, nylon fibres are used. Nylon fibres are synthetic fibres which is recycled from nylon waste. Similar to plastics, nylon waste is also produced in large amount which causes environmental pollution. So, to reduce this impact of nylon fibres are used in fly-ash bricks to increase its mechanical properties. The major goal is to improve the fly-ash brick mechanical properties of the fly-ash by conducting Compression Strength test, Water Absorption test and Efflorescence test. Hence result has been studied of fly-ash bricks reinforced with nylon fibres has shown promising results in all areas, suggesting that it could be used in load bearing walls, foot paths, pavements.
