Abstract
This study examined the application of pulverize clay brick wastes as alternative constituent for Portland cement replacement in green concrete production using the response surface methodology (RSM). The adopted response surface approach is central composite design (CCD). The statistical models were developed between the concrete constituents (clay brick powder and water cement ratio) and their response variables (slump, compressive and split tensile strength). Relationships were established and mathematical models in terms of actual factors from predicted responses were developed. The influence of the considered factors on the properties of response were visually observed from the contour and response surface plots. The statistical models of experimental values clearly depict that the obtained experimental values are in close agreement with the predicted values, which validates the response surface models with desirability value of 1. The results show that pulverized clay brick waste have significant influence on the properties of concrete than the water cement (w/c) ratio, however, a declining trend was seen for all analyzed concrete properties. In addition, this study showed that the pulverized waste brick can be used as alternative substitute for Portland cement up to 20% in the production of sustainable concrete.
