Abstract
The abundant availability of demolition waste from construction industry is leading towards a significant problem of disposal, land and air pollution. The natural aggregate resources are also depleting due to development of construction activities. An attempt is made in this study to convert this waste into wealth by substituting the recycled brick from demolition waste to granite aggregate in production of the concrete. The granite aggregate (GA) is replaced with recycled brick aggregate (RBA) by 25% of its weight to produce M15 and M20 grades of concrete. The granite aggregate concrete (GAC) and recycled brick aggregate concrete (RBAC) were subjected to different temperatures between 100 to 1000oC for a duration of 3 hours and the mechanical properties such as compressive strength and flexural strength were examined to assess its fire performance. The response of RBAC is better than GAC at each temperature. The study revealed that the residual strength increases with the increase in grade of concrete at all temperatures.
