Abstract :Brick is the most important and indispensable building material for sheltering structures. The primary ingredient of brick is clay soil. The use of fertile soil in brick production has led to various problems in agricultural lands. In this context, the use of waste materials instead of clay soil in brick production has become prominent. This study examines studies on the use of agricultural waste (tea waste, rice husks, and wheat straw) in lightweight brick production. The period chosen is 2020-2025. The study found that agricultural waste reduces the unit weight, thermal conductivity, and compressive strength of lightweight bricks. Furthermore, it was observed that porosity increases. It has been determined that the use of agricultural waste in lightweight brick production may be suitable.
