It has been seen that there are some field difficulties in the use of fly ash bricks, like plaster holding ability, water absorption, etc.

This paper has on improving the field difficulties, by modifying the casting mould and by adding silica fumes to the fly ash bricks.

Key Words:  Fly ash bricks, fertile soil, environment, water absorption, Plaster holding capacity.
