Use of Waste Bricks and Tiles as a Pozzolan-Like Material in Concrete

The application of building rubble collected from damaged structures has become an important issue in Taiwan. The reuse of construction wastes not only conserves the finite raw materials and reduces energy consumption, but also can be a solution for environmental protection. Among the wastes, bricks and tiles were produced under high temperature sintering, which is similar to the production process of pozzolanic materials like fly ash or slag. Such material might lead to the pozzolanic reaction in concrete. This research intends to investigate the probability to replace the natural sand or cement by using waste bricks and tiles.
