The new properties of alluvial brick can be created by addition to the coconut fibre. An analysis on compressive strength and water absorption percentage of alluvial brick and coconut fibre alluvial brick are presented in this research. There are four main different operations are involved in the process of manufacturing of alluvial bricks such as preparation of alluvial clay and coconut fibre, moulding of bricks, pre-drying of bricks and burning of bricks at 500°C, 600°C and 700°C. The results showed that the alluvial soil brick (without coconut fibre) burnt at 600°C exhibits the highest compressive strength of 17.33MPa and water absorption rate is 5.56% after soaked 24 hours in water. By using 600°C as the optimum temperature, alluvial bricks incorporating of coconut fibre are burnt. The highest value of compressive strength of coconut fibre alluvial brick is 16.57MPa and the water absorption is 11.11%. The outcomes of this research proved that the pure alluvial soil brick which not mixed with any add mixtures can be used in the construction project and it can be considered as a new type of brick in construction material. The coconut fibre alluvial brick also has fulfil the requirements to contribute to sustainable development as coconut fibre alluvial brick is made use of waste coconut fibre that environmental friendly and at the same time, it could decreases the waste material disposal.
