Abstract The purpose of this paper was using gold mine tailings and cemented materials with low alkalinity to fabricate
baking-free bricks. The obtained baking-free brick samples were evaluated by unconfined compressive strength
(UCS), water absorption percentage, freezing-thawing cycle, and drying-wetting cycle. The microstructures of
the baking-free brick samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope
(SEM) techniques. The baking-free brick specimens cured for 28 days with the addition of 10% mixing water consumption and 1:6 cement/tailing ratio tended to obtain favorable comprehensive properties such as a high compressive strength of 15.15 MPa, a… More >
