A STUDY TO EVALUATE GRANITE AND GLASS WASTE AS FLY-ASH REPLACEMENTS IN BRICK PRODUCTION A detailed literature survey

  • Unique Paper ID: 190600
  • PageNo: 1696-1699
  • Abstract:
  • This literature survey reviews published research on using granite waste (sawing/processing powder, quarry fines) and waste glass (powder or cullet) as partial replacements for fly ash in brick production. The review covers (1) material characteristics and chemical behaviour, (2) manufacturing routes for bricks (clay-fired, cement/fly-ash bricks, geopolymer/unburnt fly-ash bricks, autoclaved products), (3) effects on mechanical, durability and thermal properties, (4) optimum replacement ranges reported, and (5) gaps and recommendations for future experimental work. The weight of evidence shows both granite and glass wastes are promising as constituents in sustainable bricks, but behaviour depends strongly on particle size, glass chemistry, processing route, and mix design — so research must be standardized to identify robust, scalable recipes.
