Implication

Randomized trial evaluates composite properties with waste materials and PEG, suggesting resource-efficient building solutions.

Key Points

This study aims to explore the incorporation of polyethylene glycol and waste materials in high-performance composites to enhance performance while using sustainable resources.
Partial replacements of river sand and cement using brick waste sand and ceramic waste powder.
Evaluation of workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, tensile response, and water absorption.
Microstructural analysis using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
Optimized mixture (1.5% PEG, 50% BWS, 10% CWP) achieved compressive strength of 63 MPa.
Tensile strength was approximately 7 MPa and flexural strength was 15.89 MPa.
Water absorption was measured at 1.15%, indicating improved matrix densification.
