Abstract

The bricks that are used for conventional construction are basically burnt clay bricks, cement bricks, flyash bricks. Among this flyash bricks is taken in this project to enhance the thermal resistance and thus make the rooms cool as much as possible. In this regard flyash bricks in market are collected and tested. The material composition of the flyash bricks are provided by the manufacturer was altered later by adding hydrogel in aim to make it thermal resistant brick. About 5% of poly-acrylamide is added to the flyash bricks materials to get this cooling brick. Addition of 5% poly-acrylamide hydrogel by weight of flyash to the mix increased the overall performance of the normal flyash bricks and thus provided in this report.
