Key Points

The research aims to evaluate how recycled clay brick can enhance the mechanical and durability properties of concrete.
Assessment of concrete samples using various ratios of recycled clay brick as coarse aggregate.
Comparison of concrete's mechanical and durability characteristics against traditional aggregates.
Statistical analysis to determine performance improvements.
Concrete with 30% recycled clay brick demonstrated a 15% increase in compressive strength compared to traditional aggregates.
Durability tests showed a 20% reduction in water absorption for concrete using recycled aggregates.
The addition of recycled clay brick showed a significant improvement in resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.

Measures mechanical and durability characteristics of concrete with recycled clay brick aggregates, suggesting improved sustainability.
