Abstract: Brick is the former construction material, a standard-sized non load bearing building component. The ancient bricks manufactured by clay, earth or mud. By 2007 the new ‘fly-ash’ brick made up of cement and flyash which is reliable, weather & acid resistant. The cement is a hugely used building material and liberates CO2 leading to pollution. To minimize pollution and a step to advancement in sustainable development. The current research results to geo polymer brick, where the cement is replaced with GGBS, silica fume and Kadapa slab dust. For bonding, polymers were used with limited water content. Hence produced brick is a hybrid geo polymer brick with multi material combination. Fly ash 75%- GGBS 25% as a base material. GGBS is partially replaced with silica fume and Kadapa slab dust by 2 to 5%. Evaluated through compressive strength results in which we found three optimum proportions such as FA 75%-GGBS22%-SF3% & 75% FA-22% GGBS -3% KSP.
