dc.description.abstract | The management of construction and demolition wastes is a huge challenge for most Governments. Thegreatest component of such wastes is concrete and masonry fragments or remains. Among the most com-mon approaches to valorization of such w astes is to convert them to recycled aggregates, however thismay be hampered by low quality of some recycled aggregates compared to natural aggregates. This paperpresents the results of experimental investigation where concrete and ceramic remains were used to par-tially substitute clay soil in producing unfired bricks. The bricks were then tested for mechanical strength,water absorption freeze-thaw resistance. Additionally the environmental impact of the bricks wasassessed based on Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). It was established that concrete waste could be used to sub-stitute up to 50% of the clay whereas ceramic wastes could only substitute a maximum of 30% of the clay.Blended bricks made from clay and concrete waste mixes had a lower mechanical strength than thosemade from clay and ceramic waste. As regards water absorption, there was no marked differencebetween the two blends of brick however reduction in water resistance was slightly greater in bricks con-taining concrete waste that in those containing ceramic wastes. Also, tests showed that freeze-thawresistance was greater in bricks blended with concrete wastes than in those incorporating ceramicwastes. Life Cycle analyses demonstrated that it is the binder content in the mix that largely determinesthe environmental impact of the blended bricks. Lastly, it was demonstrated that the most desirable tech-nical and environmental credentials of brick material mixes resulted from using the binder combination:CL-90-S+GGBS 2/8. | en |
