Abstract

Global warming and environmental pollution is now a global concern. Cellular light weight concrete (CLC)
block can be used as an alternative to conventional bricks, to reduce environmental pollution and global warming. The
energy consumed in the production of CLC blocks is only a fraction compared to the production of conventional bricks
and emits no pollution.
Present study work is carry out the work on properties of fly-ash and foaming agent, experimental work (casting cubes)
on cellular lightweight concrete and comparison of strength between CLC blocks and conventional brick. In present
work, shows the comparison of CLC blocks with conventional clay bricks. So for this type of comparison we have to
prepare a mould as same size of the conventional brick. The standard size of conventional brick is 19cm x 9cm x 9cm. So
we have casted same size of CLC blocks and check its compressive strength after 7th day, 14th day, and 21th day of curing
in lab.
