Sustainable Concrete Production Using Stone Dust and Over-Burnt Brick as Aggregate Replacements

  • Abstract:
  • This study investigates the mechanical properties of concrete produced by partially replacing fine aggregate with stone dust and coarse aggregate with over-burnt brick aggregates. The experimental program was designed to evaluate the influence of these materials on various concrete characteristics, including water absorption, workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and microstructural features assessed through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) analysis. Concrete mixes were prepared with stone dust replacing fine aggregate at proportions of 0%, 25.25%, 35.25%, 45.25%, and 55.25%. Concurrently, over-burnt brick aggregates were incorporated as partial replacements for coarse aggregate at levels of 0%, 15%, 30%, and 40%. The study revealed significant variations in mechanical performance across different mix proportions.
