Characterization of Fly-Ash and Cold Setting Resin Powder Compacts

Abstract

Industrial waste like fly-ash which is creating environmental problems, is mainly used as a building material due to its low cost and easy availability. But the main disadvantage of these bricks is its low strength. So, a lot of research is going on to increase the strength of these bricks. The present research work is carried out to develop a new systematic procedure to produce fly ash composite bricks which will have higher compressive strength. Here the flyash is mixed with Cold setting resin at different proportions and water treated at different temperatures to find out a solution to the brick industry.
