Abstract :
The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using waste bricks powder of Gachsaran Company in concrete. Cement is replaced by waste bricks powder in different proportions until 40 percent by weight. pozzolanic properties of bricks powder and compressive strength of concrete were investigated. The results demonstrated that the bricks powder show pozzolanic properties. Results also show that concrete with partial cement replacement by waste bricks powder has minor strength loss. The results of the investigation confirmed the potential use of this bricks powder material to produce pozzolanic concrete.
