Interlocking bricks masonry has gained rapid popularity in many foreign countries as an alternative to conventional bricks for sustainable housing. It is being always challenge for researchers to make interlocking brick with light weight material at low cost and improve the performance against aggressive environment. An experimental effort made in this concern. The results of an experimental investigation in which the compressive strength, water absorption and density were investigated by using varying percentage of fly ash, stone dust, and sand with different mix proportion. Mainly the weakest part of a masonry wall is the mortar joint, as the substitution of lime for aggregate reduces the overall strength of the joint. A manmade fibre ,fly ash, glass fibre reinforce polymer (GFRP), scoria aggregates, EPS beads utilize as reinforcing material to produce the interlocking blocks which gives appreciable results discuss in detail. The experimental results compared with that ordinary brunt clay brick and interlocking brick found durable in aggressive environments and have sufficient strength for their use in sustainable building construction.
