Abstract :

This research delves into the exciting potential of incorporating recycled materials like plastic optical fibre (POF) and ceramic waste powder into Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks. By exploring the combined effects of these recycled elements alongside traditional AAC components like cement, sand, fly ash, lime, gypsum, and aluminium powder, the study aims to revolutionize the construction industry. The core objective lies in developing a sustainable AAC block with enhanced structural performance. This translates to achieving superior compressive strength, a crucial indicator of a blocks ability to withstand load. Additionally, the research investigates water absorption characteristics, a key factor in a buildings durability and resistance to moisture damage. Through rigorous testing methods like compressive strength and water absorption tests, the research will evaluate the effectiveness of this innovative approach. The successful development of eco-friendly AAC blocks with improved mechanical properties and efficient waste utilization would be a significant contribution to promoting sustainable construction practices. This paves the way for a future where high-performance building materials go hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility.
