Abstract:This paper studies the pozzolanic performance of Crushed Brick Powder (CBP) obtained by grounding under- burnt waste bricks from a continuous brick kiln. Two different size fractions of CBP considered for cement replacement are CBP1 passing through 150 μm but retained on 75 μm and CBP 2 passing through 75μm. The compressive strength tests on mortar with CBP reveal that strength does not exceed the control; however, 10 - 15% cement replacement by CBP is optimum. A study of the presence of hydrate phases by XRD … Show more
