Abstract :The production of large quantities of solid wastes in worldwide is increasing because of the areas related to domestic, industrial, commercial and construction. Therefore, environmental problems are arisen day by day with increasing population and improving technological development. The usage of these waste products in the construction materials may be help to reduce the magnitude of this problem. Recycling of materials, the most preferred waste disposal option is an appropriate way to offset the environmental impact associated with the construction sector as an alternative material. This overviewed approach for bricks production addictive material will be useful to provide a potential and sustainable solution for waste control. In this article, the usability of fly ash from thermal power plants on brick construction has been investigated. Moreover, the physical and chemical suitability of this waste material has been investigated as additive for brick production. According to this approach, the requirement to develop a standard mix design for solid waste based building materials need to examine the actual behaviour or performance of these building materials in practice and the requirement of limitation to practical application of these building materials.Keywords : fly ash, brick, thermal power plants, recycling, solid wastes
