Influence of expanded vermiculite on physical properties and thermal conductivity of clay bricks
TL;DR: In this paper, expanded vermiculite (Yildizeli, Sivas, Turkey) was used as an additive into a brick raw material to produce the porosity of the bricks.

The greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation options for materials used in UK construction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a detailed time series of embodied GHG emissions from the construction sector for 1997-2011 and demonstrate that strategies which focus solely on improving operational performance of buildings and the production efficiencies of domestic material producers will be insufficient to meet sector emission reduction targets.

Recycling of wastes for value-added applications in concrete blocks: An overview
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of various kinds of wastes (i.e., recycled concrete, crushed brick, soda lime glass, cathode ray tube glass, crumb rubber, ceramic and tile waste, etc.) in the production of concrete blocks is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of bottom ash from olive pomace combustion in the production of eco-friendly fired clay bricks
TL;DR: The aim of this study is both studying bricks properties and showing a new way of olive pomace bottom ash recycling, which results in bricks with water absorption and compressive strength values on the edge of meeting those established by standards.

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.
