The objective of this paper is to utilize marble, granite and Spent Fire Brick waste of different sizes in the manufacturing of concrete bricks, with partial replacement of conventional coarse and fine aggregates with Marble, Granite and Spent Fire Brick waste content up to 20%.The produced bricks are tested for physical and mechanical properties according to the requirements of the American Standards for Testing Materials (ASTM) and the INDIAN Code. The test results revealed that the recycled products have physical and mechanical properties that qualify them for use in the building sector. Keywords: Undisputable, Indispensable, Conventional, Spent Fire Brick Waste I. INTRODUCTION There is an era of industrial explosion. So, it may lead to increasing demand of natural resources. The cost of natural resources is also increased. They have forced to focus on recovery, reuse of natural resources and find other alternatives. Stone waste/Granite has been commonly used as a building material. Today industry’s disposal of the stone waste/Granite powder material is one of the environmental problems around the world. Stone waste/Granite blocks are cut into smaller blocks in order to give them the desired shape and size. During the process of cutting, in that original stone waste/Granite mass is lost by 30% in the form of dust. Every year 250-400 tons of stone waste/Granite waste is generated at site. The stone waste/Granite cutting plants are dumping the powder in any nearby pit or vacant spaces, near their unit although notified areas have been marked for dumping. This leads to serious environmental and dust pollution and occupation of vast area of land especially after the powder dries up .so it is necessary to dispose the stone waste/Granite waste quickly & use in construction industry. The brick which are near the fire in the kiln subjected to high heat more than 1000 degree centigrade and ultimately shrink and loose its shape, colour becomes reddish and its appearance like reddish to blackish gradient stone. This over burnt brick serves as waste in the construction industry and has to accumulate somewhere in the process of recycling. Concrete is a solid, hard material produced by combining Portland cement, coarse and fine aggregate (sand & stone), water and sometimes admixtures in proper proportions. It is one of the most widely used construction material and has a long history of use. Its constituent ingredients derive from a wide variety of naturally occurring materials that are readily available in the most parts of the world. Approximately 60 to 80 percent of concrete is made up of aggregates. The cost of concrete and its properties are directly related to the aggregates used. In aggregates, the major portion is of coarse aggregate i.e. stone or gravel which are obtained naturally either from river bed or by crushing rocks mechanically up to the required size.
