5. Conclusions and Recommendations
- (1)
- The compressive strength of recycled brick aggregate is dependent on the age of the parent structure; the strength tends to increase as the age of the old brick structure increases.
- (2)
- Irrespective of the age of the brick aggregate, the workability of the brick aggregate concrete is a function of the water-cement ratio; it increases as the water-cement ratio increases. Generally, the recycled brick aggregate show lesser workability than their counterpart normal brick aggregate.
- (3)
- The compressive strength of brick aggregate concrete increases with age and influenced by water-cement ratio as in normal concrete. First Class normal brick aggregate shows better performance than the 2nd and 3rd Class aggregates.
- (4)
- Recycled brick aggregate concrete performs better than the normal brick aggregate in the elastic modulus. The Young’s modulus of recycled brick aggregate concrete ranges from 17–24 GPa, while normal brick concrete was 12.5–17 GPa.
- (5)
- There exists a relationship between the abrasion of brick aggregate concrete and the compressive strength. The higher the compressive strength, the higher the resistance to abrasion. The age of the aggregate also influenced the abrasion resistance. Recycled brick aggregate concrete tested in this study showed greater resistance than the normal brick aggregate concrete.
- (6)
- Recycled brick aggregate concrete show a costing saving of 10–12% compared to the normal brick aggregate concrete.
