“…A good number of publications about the processing, use, aggregates properties and the behavior of concrete at fresh and hardened state is available in the literature. Author [1] has presented the evaluation of the compressive strength of hybrid clay bricks from interlocking brick making machine. The mixture of clay and cement at varying proportions was loaded into the mould compartment, mechanically rammed and hydraulically controlled.…”

Demand of bricks is increasing day by day by the requirement of new structures. Due to manufacturing of bricks, over-burnt bricks are also made. Generally over-burnt bricks are the waste materials which is generally used for dumping purpose and sometime it is thrown in useful land that create social and environmental problems. Therefore, this material should be properly treated, recycled and used in concrete as coarse aggregate. In this research work, six (06) batches were made with 1:2:4 mix and 0.5 water cement ratio. Each batch consists of five (05) samples. Six (06) batches were made with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% replacement of natural coarse aggregates with over-burnt bricks aggregates. The outcome of study reveals that the gradation of both the aggregates shows same pattern and the trend of curve was almost similar, with minor difference in range values over a sieve. The water absorption of over-burnt bricks aggregates was more than the water absorption of natural coarse aggregates and the specific gravity of over-burnt bricks aggregates was less than the specific gravity of natural coarse aggregates. The result of slump test shows that there was continuous decrease in workability of concrete mix, as replacement of over-burnt bricks aggregates increased. 30 concrete cubes of (6” x 6” x 6”) size were prepared and cured for 28 days followed by compressive strength. The result shows that the concrete derived from over-burnt bricks aggregates attained lower compressive strength than the regular concrete. However, the values obtained from over-burnt bricks aggregates are still acceptable, especially for reasonable levels of the replacement ratio up-to 60%. This concrete can be used in new constructions, but it is proposed to be initially utilized in low load areas.

“…The mechanical analysis of bricks is common in many of them, including the works of Fernandes and Lourenço [6], Singha, et al [7], Matysek et al [8], Balasubramanian et al [9], Azeez et al [10], Pérez-Gálvez et al [11], Brozovsky et al [12] and Bajare et al [13]. Because of the difficulty of extracting samples, estimates of the bearing capacity of brick walls based on empirical formulas and analytical models that use the bricks and mortar strength are very useful.…”

Abstract: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 buildings. This study presents the results of an experimental analysis of the compressive strength of brick specimens extracted from different buildings built in the 19th and 20th centuries in the province of Zamora (Spain). The study analyses specimens with very different characteristics to compare results from different masonry units and manufacturing processes. Specimens are classified into four groups according to their macroscopic and microscopic analyses. Compressive strength results are correlated to the above classification and to the results of density, absorption and open porosity of the samples. The compressive strength results present high variation between clay bricks (9.2-64.4 N/mm 2 ) and between samples extracted from the same brick due to the heterogeneity of the material. Correlations between compressive strength and open porosity, absorption and dry density values are observed, with less dispersion in the case of high sintering level, up to 1000 • C. Finally, the compliance with the current Spanish Technical Building Code with respect to their compressive strength is checked.
