Recycling of construction and demolition waste and recycling of industrial by-products into building materials has an enormous potential. Brick waste can be treated by reusing for construction. Recently, the utilization of pozzolanic materials in cement and concrete have increased considerably due to their diverse benefits such as lesser use of cement , saving in production costs, improvement in the durability of concrete and so on. Ground bricks was added to concrete mix as partial replacement of cement at (5, 10, 15) % by weight. It was evaluated as a pozzolanic material in conjunction with high range water reducing admixture superplasticizer (HRWR)-The study confirmed that the use of 10 % of ground brick improved compressive, flexure strength of concrete by about (23.3%) and (5.92%) respectively at 240 days as compared to reference concrete and decreased the depth of water penetration under pressure by about 43.75% at 150 days, also the water absorption decreased by about 2.52%. The uses of 10% of grinding brick in conjunction with high range water reducing admixture reduced corrosion of steel reinforcement by about 18%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
