Investigation of mechanical and thermal behavior of basalt cutting waste (bcw) added clay brick
Şermin Koçyiğit,Vedat Veli Çay +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Basalt cutting waste (BCW) was added to brick raw material as an additive in order to increase porosity and strength, however, the compressive strength was found to be higher than the required standards.

Beneficial use of boiler ash in alkali-activated bricks
Thomas Poinot,Michael Edward Laracy,Cecilio Aponte,Hamlin M. Jennings,John Ochsendorf,Elsa Olivetti +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, waste boiler ash is incorporated into masonry construction materials using alkali-activation and high compressive strengths are observed in the bricks made with all three ashes, demonstrating the robustness of the proposed mix design.

Enhancement of porosity and strength of clay brick fired at reduced temperature with the aid of corn cob and waste glass
TL;DR: In this paper , the porosity and strength of clay bricks were improved with the aid of corn cob (CC) and waste glass (WG) using low firing temperature because CC added porosity to the bricks, and WG acted as a flux, promoting sintering, then forming the mineral albite, which improved the strength of the bricks.

Investigation on the technical and economic benefits of implementing biomass gasifier in clay brick manufacturing industries
P.C. Murugan,P. Saji Raveendran,S. Joseph Sekhar,P. Navaneethakrishnan,W. Beno Wincy,Godwin Glivin +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , different types of biomasses available in a region were studied to select the four potential feedstocks, and a 115 kW (thermal) gasifier was used to produce bricks from a small kiln of 1000 bricks capacity.

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.
