“…This may be attributed to the delayed pozzolanic reaction, as reactive silica consumes portlandite and produces more C-S-H gel, which increases the strength of mortar samples. A number of studies have published similar conclusions [ 12 , 37 ]. For instance, the flexural strength of CP10, CP30 and CP50 went down by 13%, 8% and 11%, respectively, when compared to that of the reference mortar at 28 days, while the 90-day strength of the blended mortars rose by 5%, 14% and 15% in comparison with the reference mix, respectively.…”

To combat environmental challenges—such as the depletion of natural resources and a high carbon footprint—and contribute to the effort of achieving zero-waste technology and sustainable development, the use of agricultural and industrial wastes in the cement industry has created a research interest. This study explores the potential of two types of harvest residue ash (HRA) and three types of ceramic waste (CP) as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) through: (1) the characterization of raw materials and (2) examining the physical properties and mechanical performance of cement-based mortar samples prepared with 10%, 30% and 50%wt of the selected SCMs ground into powder form as cement replacement. Two main variables were the water-to-binder ratio (w/b) and the effect of different grinding procedures. Experimental results demonstrated that flexural and compressive strengths were not significantly impaired by SCM additions of up to 50%, but higher replacement levels led to an increased permeability and higher capillary water absorption due to the dilution effect. Also, a lower w/b was shown to effectively reduce the porosity of mortar and increase its mechanical properties, allowing for higher shares of SCMs to be utilized. This study verifies the technical feasibility of cob corn ash and ceramic powder application as SCMs in mortar formulations, further promoting the practice of incorporating industrial and agricultural by-products in greener cementitious composites.

“…This result is encouraging and further reinforces the result of earlier studies focusing on solid mortar. Lam et al [12] similarly found that the mortar made purely of CWA, sourced from demolished clay bricks, achieved the highest compressive strength irrespective of curing age. Higashiyama et al [11] also demonstrated that the mortar containing 100% ceramic electrical insulators had higher compressive strength and lower chloride penetration than the unmodified mortar.…”

“…Jiménez et al [10], for instance, derived their CWA from partition wall rubble, containing more than 50% red ceramic brick and about 40% masonry mortar. Higashiyama et al [11] tried to incorporate ceramic electrical insulators, while Lam et al [12] used clay bricks from demolition sites. Mortar samples with CWA were consistently found to have better mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and durability than the ones without CWA.…”

Due to their inherent brittleness, ceramic materials are prone to breakage, generating significant waste stream. This has driven research into repurposing the waste materials for various applications. Processed ceramic waste has been extensively studied in the past as a substitute for cement or sand to produce cementitious composites. However, its applications have primarily been limited to solid mortars and concrete. Here, the influence of ground ceramic tiles as a fine aggregate of hollowed masonry units (HMU) has been investigated. Ceramic waste aggregate (CWA) was introduced in HMUs at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the fine aggregate volume, and their compressive strength, densities at various moisture states, and moisture characteristics were evaluated. Results showed that adding CWA significantly improved the strength (by as much as three times), reduced the density (by 13.9%), minimally affected the absorption capacity, and lowered the material cost (by up to 21.3%) of HMU, with the 100% replacement achieving the most favorable results. X-ray fluorescence analysis showed that CWA contained a higher amount of amorphous silica than river sand, which may explain the improvement in the HMU’s engineering performance. The HMUs were found to satisfy the required strength for nonloadbearing blocks. Moreover, the block with 100% CWA was classified as medium weight while all other blocks were classified as normal weight. In summary, this study demonstrated the potential of ceramic tile waste as an aggregate alternative for nonloadbearing masonry construction.

“…The contribution of WBP to strength at early ages is not as good as cement. The strength of mortars decreases with increasing WBP content, especially at early ages, and gradually improves with curing time [ 45 , 46 ].…”

Over the past two decades, extensive research has been conducted to explore alternative supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in order to address the environmental concerns associated with the cement industry. Bricks, which are frequently preferred in the construction sector, generate a lot of waste during the production and demolition of existing buildings, requiring environmentally sustainable recycling practices. Therefore, many studies have been carried out in recent years on the use of brick waste as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in cement mortar and concrete production. This critical review evaluates the impact of waste brick powder (WBP) on the mechanical and durability properties of mortar and concrete when used as a partial replacement for cement. It was observed that the properties of WBP-blended cement mortar or concrete depend on several factors, including WBP particle size, replacement ratio, pozzolanic activity, and mineralogical structure. The findings indicate that WBP with a particle size range of 100 µm to 25 µm, with a maximum cement replacement level of 10–20%, exhibits a positive impact on the compressive strength of both mortars and concretes. However, it is crucial to emphasize that a minimum curing duration of 28 days is imperative to facilitate the development of a pozzolanic reaction. This temporal requirement plays a vital role in realizing the optimal benefits of utilizing waste brick powder as a supplementary cementitious material in mortars and concretes.
