Sustainable Concrete Bricks Partially Comprised of Supplementary Cementitious Material and Alternative Fine Aggregate- A Review

Abstract

T he usage of cement and normal fine aggregates, sand is tended to give
pollution to this world. Researchers finds that there are many materials or substances
that can replace them. Most of the materials are waste materials and non-pollution
materials. The potential of using this material of alternative fine aggregates and
supplementary cementitious materials will produce more sustainable concrete bricks
in the future. In this paper, an optimum percentage of partial fine aggregates and
supplementary cementitious materials of the sustainable concrete bricks will be
observed. Then the mechanical properties such as compressive strength and water
absorption of the sustainable conrete bricks will be compared. This will help other
researchers and construction industry to produce more eco-friendly brick that can
perform as conventional bricks.
