    This study examines the effects of firing temperature and composition on the mechanical properties of paving bricks made from fly ash and rice husk ash. Bricks were made with varying proportions of fly ash from 0-100% and rice husk ash from 0-80% and fired at different temperatures. The mechanical properties tested included compressive strength, water absorption, abrasion resistance, and saturation coefficient. The goal was to determine the optimal composition and firing conditions for using waste materials in paving bricks.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    This study includes experimental research into the impact on the properties of
    paving bricks of fly ash and rice husk ash. In order to determine whether admixtures
    can be used in paving bricks, the properties of casts with varying proportions of
    complements are assessed. When you see today's demand for bricks, the behaviour of
    bricks made of various waste materials like rice husk ash and fly ash is studied. The
    aim of this study was the comparison of the mechanical properties of the bricks. For
    this purpose, a different proportion of materials were added separately by 20%, 40%,
    60% , 100% and 0%, 40%, 60%, and 80% by weight of fly ash and rice husks ash,
    respectively that made of bricks as a combination of all these.
