Abstract

Fly ash, Lime and gypsum are industrial wastes gene rated in millions of tones every year. Utilization of these materials is effective way of disposing the pollutants. In this research flime, and gypsum were used in definite prop ortion along with quarry dust to produce FaL-G blocks. These blocks were tested for compressive strength, water absorption, IRA, densit y, flexure and modulus of elasticity. Masonry prisms were constructed using F aL-G blocks to determine shear bond strength, flexu ral bond strength, low rise masonry shear, modulus of elasticity, compressive sand masonry efficiency. It was found that F aL-G masonry blocks can replace conventional masonry units.
