Abstract
Use of demolition waste in construction opens a complete new range of options in the reuse of materials in the building industry. This could be a vital development for our society in our endeavors toward sustainable development. The present study aims in developing the brick using demolished waste, blended with lime (L), fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BS) in varied proportions which were casted and cured at normal atmospheric conditions. In order to analyze the performance of the produced brick, compression test, water absorption test, and flexural test were conducted and compared with the conventional burnt clay brick as per Indian standard codal provisions. Test results showed that the brick produced from the demolished waste blended with pozzolanic materials showed better performance than compared to conventional bricks (CB).
