Study on Compressive Strength of Recycled Aggregate Brick with Construction Waste

Abstract:

Recycling and reusing construction waste has become one of the focus issues which should be solved urgently in China with the rapid urbanization, construction of new countryside and large scale urban renewal. There are some researchers take study on the recycling and application of construction waste, but hasn’t systematic study about compressive strength of recycled aggregate brick until now though production and application of recycled aggregate brick is an important approach to reuse construction waste. This test has discussed the impact on the compressive strength of recycled aggregate brick due to recycled aggregate maximum particle size and fine particle content, water-cement ratio, cement-aggregate ratio, forming pressure and curing mode. These results showed that the finer maximum particle size, the higher fine particle content, forming pressure, curing temperature and humidity have notable impact on the compressive strength of recycled aggregate brick.
