“…Thus CS is highly reduced by up to 55% for only 5% of added SW. From this point, CS is below the minimum normative threshold value, which varies from 10 N/ ). However, (40,41) found higher values, than provided by the current research, of 10 N/mm 2 and 9.9 N/mm 2 , respectively, when 10% of SW was added. In the case of (41) this difference may be explained by the higher shaping pressure applied when forming samples (approx.…”

Fired clay bricks are widely developed by focusing on the use of several wastes with the aim of obtaining lightweight materials. Despite research having provided positives experiences, most of these showed an important reduction of compression strength. This issue must be highlighted in particular, when seismic areas are considered. However, despite compression strength decreases in some cases the energy that can be absorbed by the brick might be increased. Hence, this paper tests and shows physical and mechanical properties of newly fired clays made by adding different percentages of sawdust. Results are used for calculating the response of an individual one-story house to medium intensity earthquakes. It is concluded that the use of bricks, with up to 5% sawdust added, is an ecological way for recycling these agro-wastes, while its behaviour against earthquakes performs better than other solutions, such as common perforated bricks. RESUMEN: Impacto de la utilización de eco-ladrillos, como envolventes para viviendas unifamiliares de unaplanta, en zonas de alta sismicidad. Los ladrillos de arcilla cocida, fabricados con ciertos residuos, a fin de aligerarlos, es una alternativa ampliamente desarrollada. A pesar de que han dado resultados positivos, la mayor parte han mostrado una importante reducción de la resistencia mecánica. Este problema, es especialmente relevante cuando se considera su uso en zonas sísmicas. Sin embargo, a pesar de que la resistencia a la compresión disminuye, en algunos casos, la energía que puede absorber aumenta. De este modo, el artí-culo ensaya y muestra las propiedades físicas y mecánicas de la arcilla cocida, fabricada añadiendo serrín de madera. Los resultados obtenidos han servido para calcular la respuesta ante un sismo de intensidad media para un modelo de edificio de una planta. Se ha concluido que el uso de ladrillos fabricados con hasta el 5% de serrín, es una alternativa válida para el reciclaje de residuo agrícola y su comportamiento mecánico ante sismos es satisfactorio.

“…Given the nuisance of the spoil, attempts have been made to incorporate marble waste into many construction materials, which include modifying cement mortar properties (Hwang et al 2008;Corinaldesi et al 2010), application as a recycled aggregate in concrete production (Binici et al 2008;Gencel et al 2012;Topcu et al 2009;Ergun 2011;Hebhoub et al 2011;Belaidi et al 2012;Bacarji et al 2013;Andre et al 2014), as an aggregate in asphaltic concrete (Akbulut, Cahit 2007;Karasahin, Terzi 2007), as a raw material in brick production (Bilgin et al 2012;Eliche-Quesada et al 2012) and as raw material in cement production (Aruntas et al 2010;Aliabdo et al 2014).…”

Abstract. Trinitrotoluene (TNT), a commonly used explosive for military and industrial applications, can cause serious environmental pollution. 28-day laboratory pot experiment was carried out applying bioaugmentation using laboratory selected bacterial strains as inoculum, biostimulation with molasses and cabbage leaf extract, and phytoremediation using rye and blue fenugreek to study the effect of these treatments on TNT removal and changes in soil microbial community responsible for contaminant degradation. Chemical analyses revealed significant decreases in TNT concentrations, including reduction of some of the TNT to its amino derivates during the 28-day tests. The combination of bioaugmentation-biostimulation approach coupled with rye cultivation had the most profound effect on TNT degradation. Although plants enhanced the total microbial community abundance, blue fenugreek cultivation did not significantly affect the TNT degradation rate. The results from molecular analyses suggested the survival and elevation of the introduced bacterial strains throughout the experiment. Keywords: TNT, bioaugmentation, biostimulation, phytoremediation, microbial community.

It is a well-known fact that industrial solid wastes which are commonly employed in construction sector make a significant contribution in reduction of environmental pollution. In this study, solid borax waste and silica fume were used as additive materials. In the briquette compositions, 3, 5 and 10% proportions of solid borax waste and 2, 5 and 10% proportions of silica fume were used in mixtures. In order to determine material characterization, micro structure (SEM) analyses of solid borax waste and silica fume were performed besides of physical and mechanical tests. Moreover, DTG analyses were implemented to specify material's behavior under high temperature loads. According to the test results, the values of maximum compressive strength and minimum bulk density were obtained using mixtures with proportions of 2% silica fume and 10% solid borax waste. Additionally, it was determined that the briquettes having low density and high compressive strength could be produced using aforementioned all mixtures.Key words: Clay brick, Silica fume, Solid borax waste.
