Abstract

The aim of this study was to produce bricks using boron waste of Eskişehir Kırka region and fly ash waste of Seyitömer thermal power plant. At the end of the study, it was aimed to produce bricks that are more durable than normal bricks, resistant to freeze-thaw and having thermal insulation properties in terms of physical and mechanical. 10% boron waste was kept constant and 10%, 20% and 30% fly ash were used in the bricks produced within the scope of the study. The study was carried out in three phases. In the first phase, bricks were produced using 100% clay soil and named as reference samples. In the second phase, doped brick production was carried out. The samples produced were baked at 800, 900 and 1000 oC. In the third and final phase, physical and mechanical experiments were applied to the brick samples produced. As a result, it was determined that fly ash and boron waste were not harmful to brick production and the optimum temperature was 900 oC.
