Abstract

: The production of high-performance sustainable construction bricks without burning. The process of reusing materials is considered one of the great and influential concerns in the world where the field of sustainable engineering has become the subject of interest of researchers around the world. This paper included the production of building bricks according to the Iraqi description and with high resistance without burning compared to the solid clay bricks. The results of resistance to compression, absorption ratio and inequality were compared to the production structural unit. With high efficiency for all tests and for various reusable materials. Currently there is increasing pressure on energy efficiency for new buildings around the world. This has been partly caused by increased public awareness of the construction of sustainable buildings. In addition, there is pressure on building materials and manufacturers because of new government legislation in the world aimed at reducing energy use and carbon dioxide emissions in new buildings. Research reports on non-flaming building materials called "sustainable technology" in building construction aimed at reducing high-energy inputs, particularly those resulting from the release of clay bricks into furnaces .Cement was used to formulate non-flaming clay brick test samples mostly as a control. The work of the researcher in the development of non-flaming bricks in this field is a great scientific achievement Scientific results such as pressure strength and absorption ratio and other characteristics were among the accepted engineering standards for mud construction units. The non-burning materials showed efficiency in the use of energy and suggested a tremendous economical alternative. This study is one of the attempts to compare burned and unburned bricks as well as the combination of energy use and carbon dioxide emissions for unburned bricks for those used in mainstream construction.
