Bricks: Properties and Classifications

Abstract

Studies the various contemporary standard brick products that are available and examines in detail their inherent properties and classifications which ensures that British bricks conform to the requirements of British Standards Specifications. These properties are significant and the engineer and architect must give them due consideration, for it is their responsibility to ensure they specify correctly for particular applications, and in so doing they should bear in mind that all bricks are not necessarily appropriate for all applications. This information will help professionals to make well‐considered judgements on brick selection and application.
