Experimental Study On The Effect Of Liquid Foam On Light Weight Bricks
Conventional brick, fly ash, Cement, liquid foam, Compressive strength, water absorption
Brick is one of the oldest building materials. A brick is a block or a single unit of a ceramic used in masonry construction. On the basis of field practice, bricks are classified into four classes. Fly ash bricks refer to those bricks which use fly ash, lime or cement as main raw materials, adding moderate gypsum and aggregates, after mixture preparation, pressed in molding, and then through high temperature or normal pressure curing or natural curing methods into beings. Light weight brick are mainly used for load bearing structure and framed structure. It’s another alternative for red brick and fly ash bricks. In light weight brick, it possess water absorption is less compare to conventional and fly ash brick, high thermal insulation, high compressive strength, less weight, accurate shape, environmental friendly. The objective of the study is to reduce the weight using liquid foam and to get high compressive strength. Class F fly ash is used as binding material with some additives. The unique property of gas-liquid foams having very high specific surface area is exploited in the chemical processes of froth flotation and foam fractionation. The brick mixture included only Ordinary Portland Cement as the binder material. Sludge bricks of size 228.6x114.5x76.2mm were cast with and without of fly ash. A comparison is made between conventional bricks, fly ash bricks and light weight bricks using foam. Light Weight Brick reduces the dead load weight of any building resulting in reduction of reinforced steel used in construction and due to its light weight and bigger in size, the cost of labor, mortar, plaster reduces resulting in major saving in cost of construction.
