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 …

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 …

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 …

This study addresses the evaluation of the confinement effect in the experimental
determination of compressive strength in solid fired clay units. The experimental campaign …

There is an increasing demand for earth construction in the world today but there is no
consensus on the procedure to be used to measure the compressive strength of earth bricks …

The aim of this article is to present the results of compressive strength tests for bricks from
different historical periods. The studies were conducted on hand-molded and mechanically …

In the thermal power plants the coal is burnt to heat the water for making the steam, which in
turn is used to run the turbines. The pond ash is a waste product from the boilers. It is mainly …

Interventions in historic brick buildings require an exhaustive analysis of the current
characteristics of bricks in order to establish the role performed by these elements in the …

The need for locally manufactured building materials has been emphasized in many
countries of the world because of their easy availability & low cost. Bricks also have been …

Theoretical approaches and code formulas assume the compressive strength of solid clay
brickwork as a function of the compressive strength of bricks and mortar. Such an approach …
