Abstract

The brick is one of the most often used masonry components in construction due to its unique characteristics. There have been several attempts to produce bricks using only natural resources. This resulted in the creation of waste due to the consumption of natural resources. The manufacture of bricks is one of the significant waste producers in the construction industry. The problem of waste may be effectively solved by recycling these wastes and using them in building materials such as recycled bricks. This paper describes an experimental study that test the potentials of producing new, lightweight brick for the building industry using a blend of brick and plastic waste. The physical and mechanical characteristics of brick mixtures with various ratios of waste are studied. The test findings for compressive strength, unit weight, and water absorption values are measured in accordance with the applicable requirements for regular building bricks based on building codes. The results found out that using broken brick with plastic waste has a great positive impact on the recycled brick component in terms of unit weight and the percentage of water absorption reduction. It was also found to have a high thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity as well as specific heat compared to red bricks, which can lead to stabilize; giving a new technique for installation and reduce the proportion of the decimated-on running. It could be used in the construction of walls that could participate in the reduction of temperature transfer from external to internal spaces in buildings.
