Abstract
Clayey bricks and cementitious materials present an important class of building materials. Apart from the benefits, they also pose serious environmental threats. Clayey bricks involve huge utilization of fertile land. Cementitious composites are one of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. One of the ways to minimize the soil depletion in the case of clayey bricks and the greenhouse emission in cementitious composites is the replacement of the hazardous materials by certain green materials. One such eco-friendly material is the Waste Brick Powder (WBP). It has been reported that WBP consists of a reasonable amount of the minerals necessary for clayey bricks. On the other hand, it has certain compounds, which make WBP a good pozzolanic material for cementitious composites. Pozzolanic materials replace cement, and are therefore, environmentally beneficial and cost effective.
