Building unit , Cracks, Compressive strength, Sustainable Waste materialAbstract
The main goal of the technology is the minimizing of the huge consumption of energy specifically that arises because of burning clay bricks inside furnaces. An overall review of the available literature to determine the present knowledge and thinking level in unfired/fired clay bricks, and to establish an appropriate research context. Sustainable development has become the conversation of the age, and on this basis, searching for environmentally friendly materials has become a major element in this dialog. In this research, materials were prepared and ground to be downy with cement-like properties, and cement was the binding material in all mixtures. The results gained from the scrutiny showed that toting the reused material increases the compressive strength, with the highest compressive strength (33.8 MPa and the lowest being 1.9 MPa). Or shrink the difference in the impact factor and then conserve the environment from these materials and harness them for reuse in environmental resources.
