Abstract
The most basic building material for the construction of houses is conventional brick. The rapid growth in today’s construction industry has obliged civil engineers in searching for more efficient and durable alternatives far beyond the limitations of conventional brick production. Several studies had taken serious steps in manufacturing bricks from several waste materials. However, the traditional mean of brick production which has brought hazardous impacts to the context has not yet been changed or replaced by a more efficient and sustainable one. This paper aims to compile the state of the artwork of manufacturing bricks in the past and the current trend in the bricks industry concerning the raw materials, ways of manufacturing, and the out- comings. Moreover, the hazardous impacts of conventional brick manufacturing will be wholly covered as well as the attempts of the previous research in treating the problem properly. This paper is an attempt to fill the gap in past studies and suggest more sustainable and sophisticated methods of brick manufacturing in the future. (Shakir, 2013). Bricks are the main construction component and constitute clay cement and concrete. Method of making bricks from waste material- firing, cementing, geopolymerization. For a better environmental aspect, further development and research should be carried out to produce bricks. The focus should be on the economical, technical, and environmental aspects. And also on government policies, standardization, waste recycling, and sustainable development. This study gives a comparative study of normal bricks and bricks after the addition of industrial waste. The study shows that industrial waste can be utilized in the making of brick with more durability and strength. The experimental results show a higher compressive straight of 25 N/mm2 and the radio of Cement: Sand: Red earth: industrial waste is 30:5:5:5:20:35 the temperature is 800° C fulfilling the requirement of national standards.
