Abstract: Normally Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is treated as agricultural waste that do not afford any human feed products across the globe, these kind of agricultural waste can be converted into a convenient product and also M sand is used as a substitute for the river sand, the proportions of river sand from 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 0% were restored by M sand, along with that rice husk ash in various proportions from 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% to determine the optimum percentage of rice husk ash without affecting strength properties of bricks. The optimum restoration of 35% of RHA delivered the average compressive strength of 5.34 MPa which is higher than that of common buildingbricks.
Keywords: RHA- Rice Husk Ash, M Sand – Manufacturing sand.
