The construction industry is using more and more concrete daily. The primary concern is the future growth in demand for concrete, which can be addressed by finding out at no additional cost or at a lower cost and by minimizing the environmental impact caused by the expansion of the cement industry, which is a crucial component of economic development. Given the depletion of natural aggregate sources, it is imperative to discover alternatives to partially replace concrete and cement and make the building material eco-friendly or environment-friendly. One of the most flexible and all-purpose building materials is mud-brick. In today's scenario of the construction industry, lots of different types of materials are used for the construction. Nowadays lots of environment-friendly cements are used but very less innovations are carried out in the brick or ordinary mud brick. As bricks are very important and very useful materials in the construction industry. Fly ash is a very common type of waste which are generated from the burning of coal. Fly ash is mostly used in the production of cement. Bricks are mainly made up of mud or soil. But ordinary bricks need very high temperatures and time to come in the user-friendly material. In this study, ordinary brick is studied and its original content is somehow modified by using different materials like silica fume, fly ash, and other admixtures. So, these modifications may increase the strength parameter as well as it become environment friendly. This study involves the study of the different researchers based on the modifications in the brick. As many researchers are used different materials like fly-ash, baggase, silica fume etc. It is observed that brick with the silica fume gives best compressive strength and better water absorption. Also use of the waste material can also improve the climatic condition of the country and reduce the environmental impact.
