A short presentation on BRICK & its characteristic,types, manufacturing process,composition of bricks,quality of good bricks,classification on class & shape of bricks, testing etc.
Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) uses steel reinforcement within concrete to improve its tensile strength. Concrete is strong under compression but weak under tension. Steel reinforcement provides high tensile strength due to its high tensile capacity and good bond with concrete. Steel also has a higher elastic modulus, allowing it to resist forces better than concrete alone under the same extension. Cement is a binder that hardens when mixed with water, and can be classified as hydraulic or non-hydraulic. Hydraulic cement can set even when wet or underwater due to additions like fly ash that allow curing in wet conditions. Portland cement is the most common type and consists mainly of tricalcium silicate, dicalcium sil
Bricks have been used as a building material since 7000BC, originally made of sun-dried mud but later fired bricks proved more durable. Bricks are now one of the most commonly used building materials after wood. They are manufactured through processes like soft mud, dry press, and extrusion from raw materials like clay, calcium silicate, or concrete. Bricks provide benefits like strength, fire resistance, insulation, and durability making them a versatile and long-lasting building material.
Flooring materials are selected based on factors like cost, appearance, durability, etc. Tile is a common flooring material made from stone or other hard materials. For tile flooring, a sub-floor provides support, tiles are set in mortar and grout is applied between tiles to strengthen the bond and finish. Proper slope, spacing, curing and installation techniques ensure durable and clean tile flooring.
A brick is a block or a single unit of a ceramic material used in masonry construction. Typically bricks are stacked together or laid as brickwork using various kinds of mortar to hold the bricks together and make a permanent structure.
Bricks are typically produced in common or standard sizes in bulk quantities. They have been regarded as one of the longest lasting and strongest building materials used throughout history.

Brick masonry has a long history, dating back to at least 4000 BC when the earliest civilizations used sun-dried bricks. Over time, innovations like kilns for firing bricks and lime mortar improved the strength and durability of brick buildings. Major historical civilizations and periods contributed advances, like the Romans developing masonry arches and vaults, and medieval Europeans building fortresses and cathedrals with pointed vaults. Modern developments include Portland cement, cavity walls, and reinforced concrete, allowing masonry construction of even taller buildings. Today, masonry is commonly used for foundations, low-rise structural walls, and facing materials like brick and stone veneers.
Brick is a common building material made from clay, sand, and water. There are several types of bricks based on their manufacturing process, including pressed clay bricks which have indentations called frogs, and wire cut bricks which have holes. Bricks are classified based on their quality, such as first class bricks which are well-burnt and pass certain tests. They are used widely in construction for walls, pavements, and other applications. Properties like hardness, water absorption, and strength can vary between brick types and quality.

2. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Brick is one of the oldest building material.
It is extensively used at present as a leading
material of construction because of its durability,
strength,low cost, easily available etc.
The bricks are obtained by moulding clay in
rectangular block of uniform size and then by drying
and burning these blocks.
3. COMPOSITION OF GOOD
BRICK
ALUMINA : a good brick should contain about 20%
to 30% of alumina. This constituent imparts plasticity
to the earth so it can be moulded.
SILICA : a good brick contain 50% to 60% of silica.
The presence of this constituent prevent cracking,
shrinking and warping of bricks.
LIME : a small quantity of lime not exceeding 5% is
desirable in good brick. It should be present in very
finely powered state because even small particles of
the size of a pin head cause flaking of the brick.
4. OXIDE OF IRON : a good brick contains about
5% to 6% of oxide of iron. It imparts red colour
to the bricks.
MAGNESIA : a small quantity of magnesia in brick
imparts yellow tint to the bricks and decreases
shrinkage.
5. HARMFUL INGREDIENTS
IN BRICK
ALKALIES : the alkalies act as a flux in the kiln
during burning and they cause bricks to fuse ,twist
and warp. As a result bricks are melted and they
loose their shape
PEBBLES : the presence of pebbles or grits of any
kind is undesirable in brick because it will not allow
the clay to mixed uniformly and which will result in
weak brick.
VEGETATION AND ORGANIC MATTER :
presence of this matter in brick assist in burning .
But if such matter is not completely burnt,the brick
become porous.
6. TYPES OF BRICK
Sun dried brick /unbaked
Burnt brick/ baked
Sun dried brick : these bricks are dried with help of
heat receives from sun after the process of moulding.
These bricks can only be used in the construction of
temporary and cheap structures. Such bricks should
not be used at places exposed to heavy rains.
Burnt brick : these brick are dried with the help of
kiln.
7. MANUFACTURING OF
BRICKS
PREPARATION OF CLAY : clay for brick is
prepared in following orders:
I. Unsoiling
II. Digging
III. Cleaning
IV. Weathering
V. Blending
VI. Tempering
MOULDING
DRYING
BURNING

9. CLASSIFICATION OF BRICK
On the basis of manufacturing
FIRST CLASS BRICK : the surface and edges of
the bricks are sharp,smooth and straight. This brick
are used for superior work.
SECOND CLASS BRICK: surface of this brick is
somewhat rough and shape is also slightly irregular.
This brick is used at place where brickwork is to be
provided with a coat of plaster.
THIRD CLASS BRICK: this brick is not hard and
they have rough surfaces with irregular edges. They
are used for unimportant and temprory structure.
10. FOURTH CLASS BRICKS : these are overburnt
brick which are irregular shape and dark colour. This
brick is used as aggregate for concrete in
foundation,floors,roods etc.
11. ON THE BASIS OF SHAPE
Half bat
Three quarter bat
Queen closer
King closer
12. ON BASIS OF SIZE
Traditional brick
Modular brick.
13. USES OF BRICKS
First and second class bricks are widely used for all
sorts of sound work especially of permanent nature.
These structure include buildings,dams,sewers,bridge
piers, etc
The use of first class is specified effects on face of
structure where they are to be kept exposed for
beauty
The third class and sun dried bricks are used for
construction work of temporary nature.
14. TESTS FOR BRICKS
ABSORPTION : a brick is dry weight then
immersed in water for16 hours, weight again the
difference in weight indicates the ammount
absorbed by the brick. It should not exceed 20%
weight of dry brick.
HARDNESS OF BRICK : a scratch is made on
brick surface with the help of a figure nail. If no
impression is left on the surface then the brick is
treated to be sufficient hard
SOUNDNESS: two brick are taken and they are
struck with each other. The brick should not break
and a clear ringing sound should be produce.

17. QUALITIES OF GOOD BRICK
The brick should be well burnt, coppered coloured,
free from cracks, and with sharp edges.
the brick should be uniform in shape and should be
standard size.
The brick should give a clear metallic sound when
struck with each other.
The brick should not break into two pieces when
dropped on ground from a height of about 1 M.
