Brick being major construction filler material, is manufactured by various processes using different materials. Traditional method of brick manufacturing uses soil as base material, which is molded in shape and then baked to strengthen the brick. Generally the quality of core baking is tested by sound test as per IS 2077. This paper describes the manufacturing of bricks made of various compositions of bagasse ash as base material and soil as a binder. The study also describes the effect of variation in parameters such as temperature and baking time on compressive strength. The compressive strength of core for the brick is checked by sound test which is performed using FFT analyser. The effects of these parameters on compressive strength and quality of the core baking were related with each other. The mathematical model was developed. The experimental results where validated by analytical method.
