Abstract:

This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the optimization of burnt clay brick durability using recycled ceramic tile powder as a partial replacement for clay. The research employed a central composite design approach to systematically evaluate the influence of the ceramic powder addition on the water absorption and abrasion resistance characteristics of the bricks. The experimental results demonstrated that the incorporation of 10% recycled ceramic tile powder significantly enhanced the durability of the burnt clay bricks, reducing the water absorption from 15.2% to 8.9% and the abrasion loss from 3.38 mm to 1.59 mm, compared to the control sample. The statistical analysis of the central composite design model revealed a strong correlation between the ceramic powder content and the durability properties, with R-squared values exceeding 93%. The findings of this study highlight the potential of using recycled ceramic tile powder as a sustainable and effective additive to improve the overall performance and durability of burnt clay bricks, contributing to the development of more eco-friendly and durable construction materials.
