  Abstract: The rapid growth of the global population, coupled with increasing pollution levels, highlights the urgent need for sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials, such as unfired clay bricks. However, their widespread adoption remains limited due to certain performance drawbacks, particularly in thermal insulation, a critical factor in addressing climate change challenges. In this study, a plant-based... More

  Abstract: An evaluation of the effects of additives and firing temperatures on clay bricks characteristics was studied. The two (2) additives used were sawdust ash (SDA) and iron ore tailing wastes (IOTW), and the five (5) firing temperatures of 400o C to 1200o C at intervals of 200o C were applied. The fired bricks were tested... More
