When old concrete is crushed to coarse aggregate for production of new concrete, approximately 20 weight percent of crusher fines are generated. It has been shown that calcium hydroxide from hydrated cement of such fines reacts in the autoclave with siliceous particles in the fines to give calcium

β¦ Synopsis
It has been shown that calcium hydroxide from hydrated cement reacts with fly ash and siliceous particles in the crusher fines of recycled concrete to give calcium silicate products similar to sand-lime bricks when autoclaved. Such products achieved compressive strengths up to 12.5 MPa.

## Abstract A comparative study of the chemical composition, mineralogy, morphology and crushing strengths of fly ash bricks, conventional concrete bricks and fly ash samples has been undertaken. The main chemicals present in the products were silica and alumina while their main minerals were quart
