Abstract

To determine if lower value clays, currently discarded in UK quarry/brick production sites, could be used in cement and concrete.

A total of ten clays and two brick powders, with varying clay mineral constituents, were assessed as Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) at lab scale. Then four of these clays were calcined at pilot scale in a flash calciner and rotary kiln and rigorously analysed (along with 1 brick powder) for their strength and durability in cements and concretes.
