DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRICK USES IN BRICK MASONRY WORK

DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRICK USES IN BRICK MASONRY

bricks are used as siding in the building industry due in part to its important characteristics and just because it can be a good affordable option. Below we summarize the benefits and applications of the most commonly used type of bricks.

various types of bricks uses in masonry.

1) Common Burnt Clay Bricks

2) concrete Bricks

3) Sand Lime Bricks (Calcium Silicate Bricks)

4) Fly ash Clay Bricks

5) Engineering Bricks

1) Common Burnt Clay Bricks

Common burnt clay bricks are formed by pressing in molds. Then these bricks are dried and fired in a kiln. Common burnt clay bricks are used in general work with no special attractive appearances. When these bricks are used in walls, they require plastering or rendering.

2) Concrete Bricks

Concrete brick is a mixture of cement and aggregate, usually sand, formed in molds and cured. Certain mineral colours are added to produce a concrete brick resembling clay. these are used in hou

3) Sand Lime Bricks

Sand-lime brick is a product that uses lime instead of cement. Sand lime bricks are made by mixing sand, fly ash and lime followed by a chemical process during wet mixing.It is usually a white brick made of lime and selected sands, cast in molds and cured.  These bricks can offer advantages over clay bricks such as:

1) color appearance is gray instead of the regular reddish color.

2) offers excellent strength as a load-bearing member.

3) shape of these bricks is uniform and presents a smoother finish that doesn’t require plastering.

4) Fly Ash Clay Bricks

Fly ash clay bricks are manufactured with clay and fly ash, at about 1,000 degrees C. Some studies have shown that these bricks tend to fail poor produce pop-outs, when bricks come into contact with moisture and water, causing the bricks to expand.

5) Engineering Bricks

The engineering bricks having adiquate strength, 0 to 80 N/mm2 and water absorption about 4 to 6 per cent, can be prepared from specially selected earth for use in constructions where high durability, compression strength and adequate resistance to sudden shocks are required.

Engineering bricks offer excellent load bearing capacity damp-proof characteristics and chemical resisting properties. These bricks are used in specific projects and can cost more than regular or traditional bricks.
