Quality evaluation of soil-cement-plant residue bricks by the combination of destructive and non-destructive tests
TL;DR: In this article, the technical quality of soil-cement-plant residue bricks was evaluated by the combination of non-destructive and destructive methods by combining the quantitative parameter named anisotropic resistance in order to evaluate the quality of the bricks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental evaluation of geopolymer bricks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the environmental assessment of geopolymer bricks produced from clay and waste bricks and found that for the same compressive strength of fired bricks, a reduction of CO2 emissions was achieved by up to 55% for clay-based bricks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recycling of Mining Waste in the Production of Masonry Units
TL;DR: In this article , the potential of reusing mining waste in the production of masonry units was analyzed, based on the current context of building environment decarbonization. But, the authors did not consider the use of mining waste as secondary raw materials in masonry unit production.
