PROPERTIES OF HARDENED CONCRETE USING CRUSHED CLAY BRICK AS AGGREGATES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper provides the result of an investigation to use of crushed clay brick as
aggregates in producing concrete. Eight different crushed clay brick aggregate concretes were
used in this investigation. Compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and pulse velocity of
crushed clay brick aggregates concrete were determined and compare to natural aggregate
concrete. The compressive strength of crushed clay brick aggregates concretes were always
lower than the compressive strength of natural aggregates concrete regardless the age of
concrete, but the crushed clay brick aggregates concrete showed better performance as the age of
concrete increases and average reduction in compressive strength were 33.5% at the age of 7
days but it becomes only 20% at the age of 56 days compared to natural aggregates concrete. The
splitting tensile strength of crushed clay brick aggregates concrete were always lower than
natural aggregate concrete, the reduction in splitting tensile strength of crushed clay brick
aggregates concrete is ranging between 11 and 26% with an average reduction of about 18.5%
compared to natural aggregates concrete. The pulse velocity of crushed clay brick aggregates
concrete were also lower than natural aggregates concrete, the reduction in pulse velocity of
crashed clay brick aggregates concrete is ranging between 6 and 22% with an average reduction
of about 14% compared to natural aggregates concrete.
