Improved fired clay brick compressive strength by recycling wastes of blacksmiths’ workshops

Abstract This study investigates the effect of using steel filings from the waste of blacksmiths workshops on the clay bricks mixture to improve the bricks’ compressive strength. On the other hand, this process can reduce workshops’ waste by recycling it to preserve the resources and achieve sustain...
