The excessive sand usage and depleting resources for natural sand, has persuaded to consider alternative materials as a substitute to sand. Construction and demolition waste can be an option as alternative to sand. Considerable volume of waste is produced during demolition of a building. The increased demolition of old structures to construct new buildings necessitates developing various processes to recycle and reuse these wastes to reduce landfills. This article investigates the suitability of demolished brick masonry as an alternative to river sand. Properties of Cement and cement lime mortar with 0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 100% replacement of natural sand with demolished brick masonry is investigated. When 30% of sand replaced by demolished brick masonry aggregates, a steady increase in Compressive strength and split tensile strength of mortar was observed. Modulus of elasticity of mortar samples was found to reduce as the sand replacement was increased. Use of demolished brick masonry waste based aggregates may result in valuable effort towards effective utilization of natural river sand.
