A high amount of energy is required to produce different types clay and sand-lime bricks, a huge carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. Also, brick waste from destruction dilapidated buildings pollutes environment. Application pozzolanic sources containing aluminosilicate alkaline activators can be beneficial in production geopolymer which do not need baked furnace recycled. laterite-base...

Judicial use of cement coupled with the beneficial employment of certain so called ‘industrial waste products’ constitute the backbone of a sustainable concrete technology. The use of fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), rice husk ash, condensed silica fume (CSF), metakaolin and recycled concrete, bricks and other materials are all gaining varying degrees of acceptance from en...

Abstract The current study reports the effects of waste glass additives on properties and compliance level fired ceramic masonry bricks. In course producing durable bricks for masonry, powder sieved to 150 ?m was added clay, mixed with water 1000°C. addition were investigated by subjecting 242 produced physical, mechanical, thermal tests. Their morphological behaviour thereafter examined. From ...

The construction industry consumes a huge quantity of raw materials, some which ends up as waste in the process. Among many factors, studies suggest that inexperience labour is one factor generates material waste. However, an in-depth analysis generation concerning different levels experience has not been undertaken. Thus, this study investigates influence brick and tile Sri Lankan and, thereby...

Brick, one of the oldest materials known in history, is a building material that has come up to present day by continuing its development over time. However, with technology, brick been continuously revised. Recently, researchers have turned production geopolymer bricks substituting waste into structure.
 In this study it aimed research effect blast furnace slag substitution on heat conduc...

In this work we solve a special case of the problem of building an n-dimensional parallelepiped using a given set of n-dimensional parallelepipeds. Consider the identity x = xHx 1L Hx 2L + 3 xHx 1L + x. For sufficiently large x, we associate with x3 a cube with edges of size x, with x Hx 1L Hx 2L a parallelepiped with edges x, x 1, x 2, with 3 x Hx 1L three parallelepipeds of edges x, x 1, 1, a...

This paper evaluates the current conditions of Ugandan low-income tropical housing with a focus on construction methods and materials in order to identify the key areas for improvement. Literature review, site visits and photographic surveys are carried out to collect relevant information on prevailing construction methods/materials and on their environmental impacts in rural areas. Low quality...
