Abstract

Present investigation focuses on the recycling of wastes from brick and ceramic factories as a fractional substitute for clay in the production of clay bricks. The heavy reliance on clay in brick manufacturing is leading to the depletion of fertile land, contributing to environmental and climate concerns. The substitution rates of 5, 10, 15% for brick and 4, 8, 12% for ceramic are explored. The brick samples were assessed based on their mechanical performance and durability characteristics. The comparison of control and modified bricks depicted that the modified bricks performed well in water absorption and sulphate resistance characteristics.
