Abstract Implementing plastic waste in construction materials is a sustainable disposal method to overcome pollution. The current study aims optimize the integration of cement bricks regarding their thermomechanical properties order develop an eco-friendly building material. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) partially substituted with different ratios (0, 2.5...

BACKGROUND In recent years the generation rate of construction and demolition waste (C&D) has significantly augmented. The aim of this study was to assessed the quality and quantity of construction and demolition waste in Tehran (capital of Iran). METHODS Questionnaire methods were used for estimating the amount of generated C&D wastes national statistical data and typical waste generation da...

Large amounts of cotton microwastes are accumulated in textile industries. The microdust is less to ignite and causes serious environmental problems health hazards. This paper presents an experimental study, which investigates the potential use produce new lightweight brick for construction physical mechanical properties mixes having different levels ratio were investigated. test results record...

The feasibility of propagating road materials in the use of contracture wastes especially contented great amount waste bricks were researched in three aspects: Performance of recycled aggregate, mechanical properties of renewable road materials, compression splitting indexes. Conclusions are as following: recycled aggregates contenting great amount waste bricks in place of natural aggregates ar...

This paper shows the use of dimension stone waste in manufacture soil-cement bricks. Initially, a sample soil was analyzed for mineralogical composition, particle size distribution (classifying it proportion silt, sand, and clay), physical performance by plasticity (Atterberg limits specified standard NBR 7180). A series soil/waste/cement mixtures were prepared with contents up to 90% wt.% wast...

Mechanical behaviour of fired bricks containing varied amount fine sand (FS) and waste glass powder (GP) was investigated. FS GP were added to at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 40 wt. %. Firing done 1200 ⁰C samples produced evaluated for compressive flexural strengths while microstructural analyses 25 % GP-clay examined. Results showed that strength highest 30 GP-bricks FS-clay bricks, rose addit...

Abstract This research investigated the reuse potential of pomegranate peels waste (PPW) in production fired clay bricks with improved thermo-physical and mechanical properties. PPW was used as a substitute for natural different replacement ratios ranging from 0 to 12.5% stride 2.5 wt%. The impact adding on compressive strength, total porosity, water absorption, bulk density, thermal conductivi...
