Abstract:The current study reports the effects of waste glass additives on the properties and compliance level of fired ceramic masonry bricks. In the course of producing durable bricks for masonry, waste glass powder sieved to 150 μm was added to clay, mixed with water and fired to 1000°C. The effects of the waste glass addition were investigated by subjecting 242 ceramic bricks produced to physical, mechanical, and thermal tests. Their morphological behaviour was thereafter examined. From the results obtained, the ph… Show more
