Wild, S (1996) Observations on the use of ground waste clay brick as a cement replacement material. Building Research & Information, 24(1), pp. 35-40. ISSN 0961-3218
Abstract
Joint research project between the university of glamorgan and partners at the Technical University of Vilnius, Lithuania, the Silesian Technical University, Poland and the Danish technological institute, Denmark. The project is funded by the European Copernicus programme and involves the recycling of waste clay brick and tile material for the partial replacement of cement in mortar and concrete. The paper reports on the preliminary investigation of the effect on the strength development of concrete of partially replacing the cement with ground 'Fletton' brick and establishes that this brick does exhibit pozzolanic activity and does make a contribution to the strength development of concrete.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
