Using different types of concrete to produce lightweight brick

Abstract

The usage of Light Weight Concrete Bricks(LWCB) gives a prospective solution to building construction industry. efforts has been made to study the behavior of concrete bricks by taking different proportions of fly ash, cement, Rubber, Addipor, Dolomite, lime, gypsum, sand and aluminum powder. This research was conducted to find out the physical and the mechanical properties of the mixes which included different percentages of the different constituents. The aim of experimental work carried out in this paper was to investigate the following items,Effect of using waste rubber as a replacement of aggregate on the physical and mechanical properties of concrete.
Study effect of using fly ash as a replacement of aggregate on the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. The sulfate resistance, fire effect for Lightweight Concrete Bricks (LCB). This paper includes the details of the experimental work carried out on the material used, design of concrete mixes, mixing procedures, preparation of concrete test specimens and used test devices.
