Abstract

Present research comprises of reprocessing discarded brick and ceramic powders as a fractional substitute of clay in making clayey bricks. The extensive use of clay during the development of bricks is the cause of loss of fertile land, which is affecting the climate. The substitution rates of 5, 10, 15% for brick and 4, 8, 12% for ceramic are explored. The brick samples were evaluated based on their physical, mechanical and durability properties. The comparison of control and modified bricks depicted approximately the same unit weight, decreased mechanical strength, and good improvement against water absorption.
