The sustainability of concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the use of substitution materials within cement and conclude that the construction industry in Ireland needs to move towards a more sustainable future from various changes that will and are taken place in the industry to help towards the 2050 roadmap of between 80 and 95% Greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990.
The role of brick pebbles and dust in conglomerates based on hydrated lime and crushed bricks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the possibility of other roles played by the bricks, especially in the case of very thick joints, perhaps producing a good bond while also serving as aggregates and giving overall good physical and mechanical performances to the mortars.

Experimental study on the properties of modern blue clay brick for Kaifeng People's Conference Hall.
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), alongside a parametric study of density, moisture content, water absorption, void ratio, frosting, compressive strength, and softening coefficient in assessing the material health of the blue clay bricks and it's non-key parts.

A Comprehensive Review of the Potential of Stepwells as Sustainable Water Management Structures
Thirumalini Selvaraj,Prathiba Devadas,Jayashree Lakshmi Perumal,Anastasia Zabaniotou,Mahesh Ganesapillai +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explore the scientific, architectural, artistic, and functional dimensions of all major stepwells in India that have either disappeared or lost their relevance owing to expanding human population and environmental stress, and provide an opportunity to rethink modern water engineering systems and redesign water infrastructure with less negative environmental impacts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and ensure water for all.
