Incorporation of waste materials in the manufacture of masonry bricks: An update review

Conventional bricks are made off from clay with high firing temperature or from cement concrete, but these consume and emit high energy and have environment shortcoming like carbon footprint and raw materials depletion. Researchers have utilized various types of waste materials in the production of...

Researchers have utilized various types of waste materials in the production of bricks to protect the environment and contribute towards sustainable development. This study presents the latest research updates on utilizing waste materials in bricks manufacturing. The study categorized into two groups based on manufacturing method: fired and unfired methods.
