Red bricks have been used in the construction since ages and the industry of construction and management has introduced fly ash brick in the market. Fly ash brick a.k.a. self-cementing bricks are being extensively used in the construction field nowadays due to cost-effectiveness. The material is also termed as “green product” as it reduces environmental pollution. It is obtained by burning coal. Rather than discarding the material, fly ash has been put to some good and efficient use. Fly ash concrete requires less curing which makes it more workable. The best feature of the bricks made of fly ash is that their strength improves over a period. Moreover, fly ash bricks reduce the chances of thermal cracking. Developed and patented by Dr. Bhanumathidas and Kalidas, the bricks are available as Class C and Class F.
