The use of new materials for making bricks by partially replacing the clay with natural waste material for making conventional bricks will help the environment for sustainable development, as low amount of soil will be used in making brick and it will be cheaper in cost compared to conventional bricks. For example in today's time the availability of good fertile soil is decreasing day by day due to many industries and apartments and from these industries many waste materials are produced in

The usage of waste materials from the industry will help the environment to be clean and healthy for the nearby beings and will keep the mother earth safe. In this investigation, researchers are using marble powder and rice husk ash which has been collected from nearby industries, the waste materials will be partially replaced in proportion of 5 %, 15 %, 25 %, 35 % by weight of samples in clay.
