Influence of Particle Size in Brick’s Waste Reuse

Abstract:

Construction industry is the one that increases the most in Brazil, nowadays. On the other hand, this high development speed brings a concern with the destination of its leftovers. As it happens in most industrial processes, feedstock’s particles size is very important in reuse processes of brick waste and it is directly related with formed materials’ behavior. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of particle size in physical properties of specimen made of bricks’ waste through a characterization using Scanning Electronic Microscopy and X-Ray Diffraction. The specimen were made from three different selections of comminuted bricks’ particle size and then submitted to Flexural Strength tests. The results show that the material’s physical properties improve as the feedstock’s particle size decreases.
