“…The soil samples studied were known that their physical properties were examined against moisture content and grain size analysis of sand, silt, and clay proportions, respectively. Atterberg limit values are required to be known including the ratio of plastic limit, liquid limit, plasticity index and specific gravity range between [34].…”

Clinker bricks go into excessive temperatures during the process, are waste in brick making, and tend to be unusable, but it can be used as an alternative material to coarse aggregate in concrete mixtures. This research is about clinker brick waste which is used as coarse aggregate in no-fines concrete with a water-cement ratio is 0.45 with a volume ratio of 1:3 for 4 sample variations at different concrete ages where a mixture of four variations 0%, 25%, 50%, and 100% will be tested at concrete age 7 days, 14 days, 28 days. The results have shown that the greatest concrete compressive strength at age 7 days, 25% mix is 19.22 MPa, and the lowest 50% mix is 13.99 MPa. For 14 days, the greatest compressive strength at variation 1 without clinker bricks (0%) compressive strength 16.78 MPa, and that the lowest at variation 3 with 50% at 11.71 MPa. For 28 days, concrete ages are the normal age commonly used, the most significant concrete compressive strength at 25% mix with compressive strength of 6.59 MPa and the lowest at 50% mix 10.27 MPa. The best compressive strength at 25% mix variation 2 with compressive strength of 16.59 MPa but still smaller than the reference design f'c â‰¤20 Mpa. Based on the weight of No-fine Concrete 70% lighter, that concrete without fines using clinker bricks, although lighter, cannot be for structural concrete because compressive strength tends to decrease, but it can still be for nonstructural concrete.

“…Specific weight is the ratio of the mass of a unit volume of a substance at a given temperature to the mass of the same volume of gas-free distilled water at the same temperature and it is a value that has no units (Khalaf and Issa, 2021). In the current study, the total specific weight and the apparent specific weight were calculated.…”

Four sites for deposits between Baghdad and Fallujah were studied. The results showed that all sites conform to the limits of the American Standard Specifications ASTMC33-03 and British Standard Specifications for Building Materials. As for Sieve Analysis for the coarse aggregate, the results for the first and fourth sites correspond to the nominal size of 4.75-19mm, with a deviation at the particle size of 19mm in the second and third sites. The apparent specific weight values ranged between 2.72-2.75 g/cm3 for fine aggregate and between 2.63-2.64 g/cm3 for coarse aggregate. While the rate of absorption was 1.40-1.63% for fine aggregates and 0.60-1.26% for coarse aggregates. The percentage of fine materials ranged between 1.58-4.51% for fine aggregates and 0.79-1.71% for coarse aggregates. The percentage of clay blocks and friable materials was 2.31-12.09% for fine aggregates and 0.39-1.55% for coarse aggregates. The percentage of lightweight materials is between 0.30-0.58% for fine aggregates and 0.24-0.48% for coarse aggregates. The flatness ratio of coarse aggregates ranged between 11.9-13.4% and the elongation ratio between 16.3-20.7%. The percentage of Soundness ranged between 5.56-7.46% for fine aggregates and between 3.14-5.88% for coarse aggregates. The chemical results were within the limits of the standard specifications. One of the most essential recommendations of the current study is to wash the fine and coarse aggregates with water well before use in concrete works should be considered to get rid of impurities, harmful substances, and salts.
