Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Thе study analyzes the impact of glass waste and expanded clay dust additives on the physicochemical properties of silicate bricks. The change in the composition of the silicate mass, as well as the amount of glass waste and expanded clay dust, affects the main physical characteristics of the brick, such as strength, density, and thermal conductivity. During the research, the properties of samples prepared with 87%, 75%, and 60% silicate mass, 3%, 5%, and 10% glass waste, and 10%, 20%, and 30% expanded clay dust were determined. The results showed that modifying the proportion of glass waste and expanded clay dust allows for effective regulation of the physicochemical properties of silicate bricks. This research contributes significantly to the improvement of building materials, particularly in enhancing their thermal insulation properties
