Description

Construction is one of the world’s resource-intensive industries. Furthermore, the construction industry faced problems such as scarcity of resources and waste deposal crisis. The focus of this thesis is the question whether mineral raw materials from construction and demolition waste can be reused. The material 5TONS is a recyclable mineral solid based on construction waste and brick-dust (masonry waste). A dry stacking system for bricks was developed based on the material. The particular design of the stone avoids the need of mortar. Trim marks and predetermined breaking allows the masonry to be flexibly designed.
