Abstract

Brick is the most important and indispensable building material for sheltering structures. The primary ingredient of brick is clay soil. The use of fertile soil in brick production has led to various problems in agricultural lands. In this context, the use of waste materials instead of clay soil in brick production has become prominent. This study examines studies on the use of agricultural waste (tea waste, rice husks, and wheat straw) in lightweight brick production. The period chosen is 2020-2025. The study found that agricultural waste reduces the unit weight, thermal conductivity, and compressive strength of lightweight bricks. Furthermore, it was observed that porosity increases. It has been determined that the use of agricultural waste in lightweight brick production may be suitable.

Özet

Tuğla barınma yapılarının en önemli ve vazgeçilmez bir yapı malzemesidir. Tuğla malzemesinin ana maddesi killi topraktır. Verimli toprakların tuğla üretiminde kullanılması ile tarım arazilerinde çeşitli problemler yaşanmaya başlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda tuğla üretiminde killi toprak yerine atık malzemelerin kullanımı ön plana çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada, tarımsal atıkların (çay atığı, pirinç kabuğu ve buğday samanı) hafif tuğla üretiminde kullanımı üzerine yapılan çalışmalar irdelenmiştir. Periyot olarak 2020-2025 yılları arası seçilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda tarımsal atıkların hafif tuğlanın birim hacim ağırlığını, ısı iletim katsayısını ve basınç dayanımını düşürdüğü tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra gözenekli yapının arttığı görülmüştür. Hafif tuğla üretiminde tarımsal atık kullanımının uygun olabileceği görülmüştür.
