The radiological hazard of building materials originating from clay, rock and other mineral wastes has attracted more attention because they contain natural radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th, and 40K). The activity concentration of radionuclides in red-clay brick samples obtained from three different brickyards in Shangluo, China waHs measured. Various indexes, including radium equivalent activities, Raeq, external hazard index, Hex, internal hazard index, Hin, indoor air absorbed dose rate, D, and annual effective dose, AED, of the aforementioned radionuclides in the bricks were used to assess the radiation hazard for people. The average activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K were respectively 34.5 ? 1.9, 62.5 ? 2.1, and 713.7 ? 19.8 Bqkg?1 for the studied red-clay bricks. The Raeq values of the red-clay brick samples varied from 167.0 to 184.7 Bqkg?1, which are lower than the limit of 370 Bqkg?1. Moreover, the activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in unfired brick, clay and coal were also determined and the results were compared with that in the red-clay brick samples. This study shows that the red-clay bricks produced in Shangluo, China can be used safely in construction industries.

The mineralogical properties of tungsten mining waste mud (TMWM) make its valorisation and re-usage as an alumino-silicate source material to produce an alkali-activated binder without calcination is a challenge. Moreover, the dissolution of silicate and alumina species from TMWM is very slow. Despite the crystallinity of TMWM, this study demonstrates that its combination with other sources of the alumino-silicate source was the materials–such as red clay brick waste(RCBW),ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) – improved the compressive strength and the pore structure of the alkali-activated matrix.Thecombinedprecursors (90 vt.%TMWM+10 vt.%RCBW, 90 vt.%TMWM+10 vt.%GGBFS, and 90 vt.%TMWM+10 vt.%EAFS) were activated using a combination of alkaline activator solutions (sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide) with the ratio of 1:3(66.6wt.%sodiumsilicatecombined with 33.33 wt.% of NaOH 10M). The results show that the compressive strength increased from11.23MPa at 28 days to reach 24.98MPawhentheTMWMwaspartially replacedby10vt.%RCBW. In addition,this study shows that the interconnected porosity decreased where the critical pore size was reduced from 21.28 µm to 0.55 µm for the tungsten mining waste-based alkali-activated binder and the binary alkali-activated binder based on TMWM and RCBW.

The paste/mortar attached to the recycled aggregate decreases the quality of the aggregate and needs to be stripped. The stripped paste/mortar is roughly 20% to 50% in waste concrete, but relevant research is very limited. In this paper, the effects of ground waste concrete (GWC) powder, coming from the attached paste/mortar, on water demand for normal consistency, setting time, fluidity, and compressive strength of cement were analyzed. The results show that the 20% of GWC powder (by the mass of binder) has little effect on the above properties and can prepare C20 concrete; when the sand made by waste red clay brick (WRB) replaces 20% of river sand, the strength of the concrete is increased by 17% compared with that without WRB sand.
