摘要

In recent years, the construction field has been scrutinized for its significant impact on the planet, particularly concerning concrete and cement production. As two of the most widely used materials in construction, their contribution to environmental degradation cannot be overlooked. The cement industry is one main factor responsible for global greenhouse emissions, natural resource depletion, and energy exhaustion. As urbanization continues to rise, the demand for cement production grows, exacerbating these environmental challenges. Understanding the environmental implications of these materials and seeking alternative solutions that balance development with ecological preservation is very important. Therefore, this paper has highlighted the utilization of waste materials and byproducts of industries (WBMs) as alternatives to cement use. The waste glass, slag, limestone, and/or clay brick dust were used as a partial substitute for cement with different percentages. Moreover, the behavior of the produced mortars has been observed. The results indicated that the compressive strength increases by using clay brick powder with 30%. The density of materials slightly decreases when WBMs are used as a partial replacement for cement. The use of WBMs (BBP, LLP, GGP, and SSP) with suitable percentages in hybrid form reaching 40% gives acceptable performance of the green mortar.
