Recycled refractory brick and Kaolin in Green concrete production
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents results of three studies on concrete mixes containing calcined clay to produce green concrete. The first type (Type I) was Metakaolin (600° K Calcination), second type (Type II) was calcined kaolin in high temperature (1000°K) and (Type III) was a waste crushed refractory brick. The first study was to replace 20% of Portland cement by (Type I) and also with (Type II). In the second study fine aggregate was replaced by 20% (Type I) and (Type II). The last study was with crushed refractory brick. Fine and coarse aggregate were replaced by 20% (Type III). Normal grade of concretes containing calcined clay were prepared in six mixes. The Setting times and normal consistency of pastes were determined. Workability, Compressive strength, tensile splitting and flexural strength were checked against the control concrete mix. The study recommended calcined clay as a worthwhile alternative material instead of Portland cement with consideration of water requirement. The research recommends using recycled refractory crushed brick as a green aggregate for production of concrete with recycled materials
