This study was conducted to assess the relationships among firing temperature, colour
components and compressive strength of bricks. Lightness (L*) and chromaticity (a* and b*) …

Brick is one of the most widely used conventional construction materials throughout the
world. The production cost of clay brick is significantly affected by the cost of energy required …

A study is presented on the use of a non-standard 40× 40× 40 mm 3 specimen for the
experimental measurement of the compressive strength of solid fired clay bricks extracted …

The effects of firing time and temperature on compressive strength, water absorption,
bending strength, weight loss, firing shrinkage and densities of clay bricks were determined …

Relationships between brick compressive strength and results attained from different types
of tests were explored in order to identify a suitable non-destructive assessment technique to …

The aim of the paper was to analyze the effect of the different influencing factors on the
compressive strength of a solid, clay brick. The effect of the surface polishing, the height …

The compressive stress–strain behavior and mechanical properties of clay brick masonry
and its constituents clay bricks and mortar, have been studied by several laboratory tests …

Chemical composition and XRD qualitative analysis were used to calculate mineral contents
of 139 brick clay raw materials using LPNORM. The second order polynomial models (SOP) …

Assessment of masonry structures by rebound hammer is easy to be performed and does
not require special preparations. The operating principle of the rebound hammer makes …

This study aimed to investigate how corn cob (CC) and waste glass (WG) could enhance the
porosity and strength of clay bricks fired at a reduced temperature. The raw clay and CC …
