AN INVESTIGATION ON THE POSSOIBLE USE OF BORON WASTES IN THE BRICK CONSTRUCTION
Abstract
This work has studied the influence of colemanite waste (CW), tincal waste (TW) and
Borax penta-hydrate waste (BW) on the physical properties of brick. Waste were replaced
by clay in amounts 5, 10, and 20 wt % of sample. Physical and mechanical properties of
the brick were investigated through a number of tests. It has been established that TW and
BW replacement considerably increases compressive strength of the brick. However CW
replacement has negative effects on the compressive strength. The results obtained were
compared with the Turkish Standards , and in general, were found to be within the limit. As
a result, TW and BW samples may be used in the production of brick.
