Özet

It is well known that industrial wastes are considerably hazardous to the environment therefore recycling wastes by merging them into the building materials is an appropriate solution. This research reviews usability of waste casting sand (WCS) and waste boron (WB) in clay based bricks. For this purpose, composite bricks produced by adding appropriate mixtures of wastes and various chemical additives in cement free clay. Firing temperature of the composite bricks was 800 degrees C. When compared with standard specifications, experimental results showed that with the addition of WCS into the bricks, strength and bulk density improved. Moreover, drying shrinkage and water absorption values decreased. The presence of WCS and WB in clay bricks enhanced the compression strength which is higher than standard bricks.
