Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhysical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete using Recycled Clay Bricks as Coarse AggregateMohammad Yasir Abdul Hakim, Mohamed El-Zeadani, Siti Aminah OsmanRising construction waste due to demolition work, natural disasters, and development is becoming a prominent issue. To tackle this, Recycled Crushed Brick Masonry Aggregate (RCBMA) can be an ideal replacement for the limited Natural Coarse Aggregates (NCA) in the production of concrete, potentially assisting in managing construction waste and reducing the depletion of NCA. As such, this study focused on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2022 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Various Combustible Materials on Insulating Properties of Refractory BricksIsiaka Olajide Odewale, Ebere Monica Ameh, Victor Tyonenge Dhave Amaakaven et al.The effect of various combustible materials on insulating properties of refractory bricks produced from Enugu fire clay and Ekebedi clay has been studied. This is aimed at determining the most favourable combustible material for different composition(s). The clays with combustible materials were used to compose different samples labeled A-G with varying percentages of combustible materials at reducing rate of 5% … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 22 Jul 2020 · 6,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCFD Simulation of Biogas Fired Clay Brick KilnAlemayehu Beyene, Venkata Ramayya, Getachew ShunkiMore strong and quality clay bricks are obtained if and only if bricks are fired with uniform optimum temperature during clay brick firing process in the clay brick kiln. To insure this transient temperature of fluegas and brick are analyzed using CFD simulation during clay brick firing in the clay brick kiln. In the simulation, 3-D geometrical model of fluegas … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2018 · 8,807 accessesView PDFCite

Rahman, Adnan Jusoh, Mohd. Zobir HusseinProblem statement: The significance of Kampung Sungai Mas as an importance archaeology site in Lembah Bujang was revealed in the year 1979 when a cannel was built along Kampung Sungai Mas area. During the construction study of this cannel, thousands of ceramic pieces from India, Middle East, China, Southeast Asia and Europe was discovered, pieces of glasses from Middle East … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 12 Dec 2011 · 9,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Palm Fiber on the Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Concrete Crushed BrickMahyuddin Ramli, Eethar Thanoon DawoodProblem statement: Researches has been conducted worldwide on a large number of natural or artificial lightweight aggregates. In spite of many of the researches of using natural fibers show considerable promise, the use of natural fibers to improve the properties of lightweight concrete still required to be a subject of further research and investigation. Approach: This experimental investigation was carried … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Study of the Effect of Infilled Brick Walls on Behavior of Eccentrically Braced Frames Using Explicit Finite Elements MethodAmir Saedi Daryan, Masood Ziaei, Ali Golafshar et al.Problem statement: Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) are usually infilled by masonry walls, but in common design, the stiffness and lateral resistance of these walls is ignored. Considering the results of carried out tests and studies, it seems that infilled masonry walls have a significant influence on the stiffness and the strength of EBFs. Since experimental test of total frame with … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEngineering Properties of Locally Manufactured Burnt Brick Pavers for Agrarian and Rural Earth RoadsEmmanuel Akintunde OkunadeThis study explored the possibility of employing burnt bricks produced locally by completely traditional methods as pavers on unpaved agrarian and rural earth roads in indigent communities. The pavers would eliminate the problems on such roads of being waterlogged and impassible during the rainy season months and those of environmental and health hazards from raised dust during the dry season … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
