Use of refractory bricks as sand replacement in self-compacting mortar

This present work investigate the possibility of using refractory bricks (RB) as fine aggregates (by partial and total substitution of natural sand) in self-compacting mortars (SMCs). For this, an experimental study was carried out to evaluate physical and mechanical properties ((bulk density, compr...

description This present work investigate the possibility of using refractory bricks (RB) as fine aggregates (by partial and total substitution of natural sand) in self-compacting mortars (SMCs). For this, an experimental study was carried out to evaluate physical and mechanical properties ((bulk density, compressive and flexural strength) of the self-compacting mortars (SCMs) with partial and total substitution of natural sand (NS) by crushed refractory bricks (RB) at different ratio (BR/S = 0, 10, 30, 50 et 100%) by weight. The results obtained show that the RB (0/5 mm class), can be used as fine aggregates for self-compacting mortar, without affecting the essential properties of mortar. However, the performances of RB-based mortar (100% as sand), were better and are suitable for a fluid concrete (such as self-compacting concrete).
