Effects of concrete waste on characteristics of structural fired clay bricks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of concrete waste in the production of fired clay bricks, and concluded that concrete waste can be used in the fired clay brick production, even though the brick containing 2.5% concrete waste gives better results than the bricks containing concrete waste up to 15%.

Characteristics of fired bricks with co-combustion fly ashes
Carlos Leiva,C. Arenas,Bernabé Alonso-Fariñas,Luis F. Vilches,B. Peceño,Mónica Rodríguez-Galán,F. Baena +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of utilizing co-combustion fly ashes for the production of eco-friendly fired bricks was studied, and the effect of fly ash with high replacing ratio (from 0 to 80%) of clay on properties of bricks was analyzed.

Strength Development of Soil–Fly Ash Geopolymer: Assessment of Soil, Fly Ash, Alkali Activators, and Water
TL;DR: In this article, fly ash was added to residual soil to produce soil-fly ash geopolymer bricks, and the effects of fly ash/soil, alkali activator/ash, Na2SiO3/KOH (or NaOH) were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy, environmental and technical assessment for the incorporation of EAF stainless steel slag in ceramic building materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the addition of electric arc furnace stainless steel (EAF-SS) slag to clay raw materials for ceramic brick manufacturing in order to get more sustainable materials without compromising their final properties was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of air agent on mechanical properties and microstructure of lightweight geopolymer concrete under high temperature
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the possibility of producing an air agent from the powder slag of ferrosilicon (FSS), an industrial waste, for lightweight geopolymer concrete (LGC) synthesis.

An environmental evaluation of geopolymer based concrete production: reviewing current research trends
TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a detailed environmental evaluation of geopolymer concrete production using the Life Cycle Assessment methodology and found that the production of most standard types of OPC concrete has a slightly lower impact on global warming than standard Ordinary Portland Cement.
