Abstract:It is presents the characterization of the clays from the algodonal formation and the mechanical properties of the products manufactured in brickyard “Hora”, located in Ocaña, Norte de Santander, Colombia.Tests of scanning electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, initial rate of absorption, 24-hour immersion, compressive strength, and modulus of rupture were performed. The results indicate that the clay contains a considerable amount of silico-aluminate, while the p… Show more
