Abstract

The use of industrial and municipal wastes to develop sustainable construction and building materials plays a significant role to improve the environment and economy by preserving natural resources and reducing waste management costs. Recycling also helps to reduce land, water, and air pollution as well as waste landfilling issues. The present work has been done to explore the prospect of partial replacement of natural soil for brick manufacturing with municipal waste, which is soda-lime glass. In this study, the effect of waste glass additives on the physical and mechanical properties of brick has been investigated. Bricks were manufactured using 2%, 4%, 10%, 16%, 30%, and 40% of waste glass replacing natural clay. Compressive strength, water absorption, and other tests were carried out to determine the mechanical performance and durability of the prepared brick specimens. An increase in compressive strength and decrease in water absorption of the samples were observed with the addition of waste glass. It was found that the developed bricks have been satisfying the parameters of the Grade-A and Grade-S brick in accordance with the Bangladeshi standard for conventional building clay brick (BDS 208). Results obtained from this study indicated that partial replacement of natural clay in brick with waste soda-lime glass makes the brick production sustainable and eco-friendly.
