Abstract
This study investigates the potential use of clay brick waste powder (CBP) and ceramic waste aggregate (CWA) in mortar. Cement was replaced by CBP in the mortar mixtures at four ratios (10, 20, 30 and 40 wt%). Meanwhile, CWA was used as a substitute for river sand in the mortar at two levels (50 and 100 wt%). The results demonstrated that the flow spread of the mortars made of CBP and CWA declined sharply owing to the rough and multi-angle texture of their surface. The compressive strength of the mortars decreased slightly at early ages but noticeably improved long term.
