  2. Brick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick

    The compressive strength of bricks produced in the United States ranges from about 7 to 103 MPa (1,000 to 15,000 lbf/in 2), varying according to the use to which the brick are to be put. In England clay bricks can have strengths of up to 100 MPa, although a common house brick is likely to show a range of 20–40 MPa.

  3. Building material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_material

    Clay blocks (sometimes called clay block brick) being laid with an adhesive rather than mortar. Bricks are made in a similar way to mud-bricks except without the fibrous binder such as straw and are fired ("burned" in a brick clamp or kiln) after they have air-dried to permanently harden them. Kiln fired clay bricks are a ceramic material ...

    An old Puolimatka's brick factory in Kissanmaa, Tampere, Finland, in the 1960s. Most brickworks have some or all of the following: A kiln, for firing, or 'burning' the bricks. Drying yard or shed, for drying bricks before firing. A building or buildings for manufacturing the bricks. A quarry for clay. A pugmill or clay preparation plant (see ...

  5. Earthen plaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthen_plaster

    Clay wall plaster exhibited very high deposition velocities and negligible yields. Clay and materials containing clay (e.g. bricks) consume ozone readily, perhaps because of a reaction catalyzed by metals present in the clay. Clay plaster with very high ozone uptake rates, has certain surface roughness, and porosity.

  6. Structural clay tile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_clay_tile

    Structural clay tile grew in popularity in the end of the nineteenth-century because it could be constructed faster, was lighter, and required simpler flat falsework than earlier brick vaulting construction. [1] Each unit is generally made of clay or terra-cotta with hollow cavities, or cells, inside it. The colors of terracotta transform from ...
