 Abstract
This paper presents the strength of the bricks by using
different recyclable materials like coconut fiber, granite
waste and egg shell powder.

Introduction

3
 Hybrid Material
Are material from two or more constituent material with
significally different physical or chemical properties, that
when combined, produce a different characteristic of
materials.

Brick
» Made of Brick
» Existence of Brick
» Flexible Building Material
» Secondary Material of Brick

 Literature Study
From the literature study, the writer
conclude.
» The construction bricks made from co-generation
ashes and other raw material had a water absorption
rate lower than 15% compressive strength greater than
150 kg/cm²
» Ceramic composition with the addition of granite
waste production water absorption lower then 3%
» Compressive strength of brick from granulated blast
furnace slag ranged in (80-150) kg/cm²

 Material Properties
1. Clay
» Clay containing up to 3% of iron oxide give white to
cream. Which change to pinks and reds as the iron
oxide content rises to between 8 and 10%
» The clay minerals give a plastic mass when mixed with
water, that can be shaped by pressure to form a brick
and it fused to cohesive mass between 1000˚ to 1200˚C
2. Replacing Materials
» Granite Powder (GP)
» Egg Shell Powder (EGP)
» Coconut Fiber (CF)

Clay Preparation

Steps Detail
» Tempering » Weight of un-burnt brick = 3.2 kg
» Mixing » Weight of burnt brick = 3.1kg
• Wet mixing » Size of the brick =21 cmX10 cmX8 cm
• Dry mixing
» Area of the brick = 210 cm²
» Mouldings
• Slop moulding
» Volume of brick = 1680cm³
• Sand moulding
The percentage of waste added is 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15%
» Drying
(for all 3 types of waste)
» Firing of bricks in the clamp
