Fired clay bricks are the most commonly used building materials worldwide. The attractive physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of fired clay bricks make it an ideal material to construct buildings. Particularly because of its longevity, compactness, and durability. These changes in microstructure and brick composition would adversely affect the material’s mechanical resistance. Many studies have been conducted to discover ways of improving thermal conductivity in fire-resistant clay bricks. One bein
A series of studies on recycled wastes in fired clay bricks have been conducted to examine the relation between additive usage in fired clay bricks and micro-pores and nano-pores formed therein. Now, a team from RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia, has demonstrated that fire-clay bricks that include biosolids. It can become a sustainable solution for both wastewater treatment and the brick manufacturers in Australia . The study shows how making biosolids bricks requires just about half as much energy as t
The study also showed that the fire energy requirements for bricks were reduced by as much as 48.6% for bricks that included 25% biosolids. It was found that the higher energy consumed in the burning process, the higher the thermal conductivity of fired clay bricks. In the present study. Fired clay bricks were manufactured from 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% CB in bulk. It was tested compared to the control bricks of 0% CB.
