An Experimental Study on Thermal Properties of Sustainable Bricks Made from Local Industrial Waste

Rapid development around the globe, increase of population and construction with latest megastructures have escalated demand for energy. The increasing ambient outdoor temperature requires mechanical air conditioners to maintain a comfortable environment within building, this contributes high energy consumption. Building good thermal conductivity properties passively reduces This experimental work focuses on four (4) brick systems which are Laterite Clay (LC), Solid Waste Fly Ash (SWFA) Bricks, SWFA (LS) Brick, Paint Sludge (LSP) Bricks. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Hydrate Lime (HL), Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) were used as stabiliser. Higher was recorded all bricks that stabilised HL. Thermal significantly reduced when GGBS incorporated blended system lowest investigated. A lower value indicates better properties. In brick-wall systems, found linearly density.
