“…Figure shows the compressive strength as a function of porosity. There is a trend that the higher porosity brick leads to lower compressive strength, and this observation is supported by other researchers . However, the additive in the clay brick and the size of the pore may also have an effect on compressive strength.…”

The thermal and mechanical properties of fired clay bricks containing three different pore‐forming additives at comparable concentrations (~25 wt %) were investigated. The additives included three types: inorganic (vermiculite), organic (sawdust), and ash (wood ash). These additives have very different pore‐forming mechanisms during the firing process and leave very different residuals in the fired brick. Brick properties are affected by the brick forming process (e.g., the raw materials, forming, drying, and firing processes), and so there is wide variation in the effects of additives on brick properties in the published literature. Therefore, the objective of this effort was to compare selected properties of fired clay bricks with different types of additives, while keeping the brick forming process the same. In this study, the trends in bulk density, porosity, water absorption, compressive strength, and thermal conductivity with incorporation of additives in clay bricks support those that have been published. However, the thermal conductivity of the brick with 25 wt % wood ash was comparable to that for the brick without additives, despite having greater porosity and lower bulk density. This supports that both the pores formed during the firing process and the residuals of the additives significantly impact the brick properties. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38: e13150, 2019

“…In addition, water absorption of bricks may impact their durability when exposed to weather. It has been shown by several researchers that the greater the porosity, the greater the water absorption in bricks [12,13,17,19,22]. Most bricks used for construction must have water absorption <25% [35].…”

“…Buildings today account for about 40 % of energy consumption in developed countries according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development [2]. This represents 36 % of the global CO 2 emissions in the World [3]. About 30 % of this energy or heat loss occurs through the walls [4].…”

“…Fired clay bricks, the best known type of brick and also one of the known oldest construction materials, are mostly prefered to form the enclosure [3] due to its simple and reliable construction technique, relatively low cost and a low maintenance cost, their phsical and mechanical properties, long durability of brick structures and equilibrium hygroscopic moisture presenting a healthy and comfortable ambient in buildings [7]. In addition to the heat isolation property of fired bricks, they can also be used to construct Page 4 of 37 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 4 load carrying walls since the usage of these bricks is permitted to construct buildings with three stairs in many countries including Turkey, Ukraine, Spain.…”
