2. LIGHT--WEIGHT BRICK’S
I:- it is used in high Rise building in order to
reduce weight {dead load or you can say the
self weight of the structure}on the walls and
ultimately reduce weight on the foundation
II:- it is also used in partition walls using hollow
bricks to reduce load and make it sound proof
III:- it is used to build on Cantilever in order to
reduce dead load
3. MANUFACTURINGOFBRICK’SACCORDINGTO
MATERIALUSED
As we all aware there is a shortage to
clay or good quality of soil as excavation
has been enormous
So it is important to use other RAW
materials Hence
Fly ash
Sand lime Brick’s/Calcium Silicate Brick’s
Cement and Cement Concrete Block’s
4. FLYASHBRICK’S
It is acquired from burning of coal which is
mainly used in Industries and Power House’s for
Generating Electricity and boiler’s fuel
Lime and Cement is added in required
proportion to acquire the required strength
Low in maintenance no colouring only washing
required
Government has been encouraging to reduce
the dumping space
The only negative is the odder {Smell}
6. SILLICATEBRICK’S
Manufactured by Auto-
calving sand lime stone
pigment colour along with
water
Prepared in Special
Chamber’s With High Steam Pressure
Involves High Energy Cost.
Silicate bricks are a perfect construction material in the Nordic climate.
Weatherproof, natural and also dignified. Silicate bricks are perfect for building
clean joint walls that do not need addional finishing's, load-bearing walls and
partitions and as the exterior lining of chimney heads.
Compressive strength: M25 (25N/mm²)
Density: 1850... 1950 kg/m³
Fire resistance: non combustible (classA1)
Can bear Heavy loads, weather and fire resistant
Noise insulation index -52dB.1 stone wall – 56 dB ½ -stone wall – 48 dB ¼ -
stone wall – 44 dB
Moisture shrinkage ε = 0.20--0.4mm/m²
Bending strength__ 4 -- 5 N/mm2
7. InterlockingTiles
Normally, InterlockingTiles are made using Concrete or clay.The
major advantage of Interlocking PavementTiles than normal roads is
in which we can AVOID cracking of Roads.Also, it can tolerate high
deflection and will not affect byThermal expansion.And Interlocking
Tiles does not require curing time after paving.
From manufacturing and end-user perspectives, the use of
interlocking tiles is a cheaper option.They are also more eco-
friendly, manufacturers are able to produce this style at more
sustainable levels. ... Interlocking tiles are large format and require
fewer tiles per square meter.
Interlocking floor tiles are tiles that interlock together to form a
floating floor. Most types of interlocking floor tiles are not glued
down.They are essentially interlocked together with some type of
interlocking floor system over a flat surface.They are held down by
gravity and their own weight.
8. CEMENT CONCRETE & HOLLOW
B BLOCK’S
The hollow cores can be filled with pouring concrete and
reinforced with steel to form incredibly strong walls for
applications such as agricultural sheds, commercial and
industrial buildings, storage bunkers, pond and pool
linings and retaining walls.
Concrete blocks are more durable and can carry heavy
loads as compared to bricks. Hollow concrete blocks
provide high insulation because of the presence of a cavity
within.They work better than the bricks. So as compared to
solid blocks, brick is better suited to provide insulation
They can be made of the desired size and shape the bigger
concrete blocks can be made and will reduce the usage of
material and workman ship
They are thourouly compacted and can bear more weight
/load.
