Bricks are manufactured by grinding or crushing the clay in mills and mixing it with water to make it plastic. This paper presents a parametric experimental study, by utilization of glass powder, GGBS, Perlite ore in fly ash brick manufacturing. Glass powder, Perlite ore is taken as constant of 2%, 10% and GGBS is replaced with 10%, 20% and 30% for each proportion that have been calculated. The physical and mechanical properties of fly ash brick are investigated. These bricks were tested for compressive strength, water absorption, efflorescence, Density and soundness test after 21 days curing as per Indian Standards. Based on the results obtained from these experiments, the suitability use of fly ash bricks is ascertained.
