A multi-site study of a new cement composite brick with partial cement substitutes and waste materials

The building industry is a major contributor to climate change since it emits massive amounts of greenhouse gases. As result this research, cement composite brick with partial substitutes and waste material was developed. fresh formula mixture hardened concrete were tested for physical, mechanical, thermal properties ensure that the assumptions true. In study role zaolite, metakaolinite micrometakaolinite at different proportions, i.e. 5%, 10%, 15% as well recycled fibers (glass, polypropylene steel) 0.5%, 1.0% 1.5% dosage in production composites researched. 20 recipes total have been until achieving final recipe mentioned brick. main purpose research develop will be used produce bricks increased mechanical parameters. compressive strength developed modified by 22% compared reference sample. Also, higher values obtained splitting flexural strength, which 14% 32%, respectively, plain concrete. Based on test results zeolite, micrometakaolinte no effect Only after incorporating into mixture, those changed. SEM images showed an even distribution matrix crack-free structure. Moreover, image analysis confirmed failure character consistent traditional concretes case compression lack split two independent samples bending. Therefore, new has great potential primary replacement masonry civil engineering projects.
