    Bricks are artificial building materials made from clay that are molded into rectangular blocks and fired at high temperatures. Good bricks are strong, resistant to weathering, and have uniform size and shape. Standard brick sizes are 19x9x9 cm but actual market bricks are often 22.8x10.7x6.9 cm. Bricks are manufactured by preparing clay, molding bricks, drying them, and firing them in kilns. Different types of bricks include clay bricks, fly ash bricks, and cellular lightweight concrete (CLC) bricks. CLC bricks provide advantages like thermal insulation, fire resistance, pest resistance, and cost savings due to their light weight and honeycomb structure.

    WHAT ARE BRICKS?

    Bricks may be
    defined as artificial
    material obtained by
    moulding clay in
    rectangular blocks of
    uniform size, which
    are finally dried and
    burnt at high
    temperature to form
    a dense and compact
    product.

    MANUFACTURING OF BRICKS
    Drying

    Firing of Bricks:

    Bricks are burnt either in a periodic kiln or a


    continuous tunnel kiln - In a periodic kiln bricks
    are loaded in after initial drying, fired, cooled, and
    unloaded; and the process is repeated after a certain
    period (say a month) - In a continuous
    tunnel kiln the bricks are loaded onto special
    railcars that pass continuously through various
    processes to emerge at the other end fully burned

    CONCRETE BRICK

    Concrete bricks

    Manufacturing Of CLC
    Blocks

    It was formed as a result of reaction of


    Aluminum on a proportionate blend of
    Lime, Cement & Flyash; the hydrogen gas
    that escapes creates millions of tiny air
    cells giving it a strong honeycomb like
    structure.
    It is further strengthened by High pressure
    steam curing in Autoclaves.
    AAC consists 80% air by volume, making it
    lightest available Walling Material (weighs
    1/4th that of clay bricks).

    Advantages of CLC Blocks

    Thermal Insulation: Highest thermal rating in


    the industry R30.
    Environmentally Sound
    Earthquake forces on structure are proportional
    to the weight of the building, hence AAC shows
    excellent resistant to earthquake forces.
    Fire Resistant : Its unique cellular structure
    provides excellent fire rating. The melting point
    of AAC is over 1600 degree Celsius, more than
    twice the typical temperature in building fire 650
    degree Celsius.

    Continued

    Pest Resistant:With solid wall construction and


    finishes, there are fewer if any, cavities for insects and
    rodents to dwell in.
    Cost savings:Being light weight AAC drastically
    reduces the weight of the building. Resulting into
    reduction in steel (up to 27%) and cement (up to 20%)
    structural cost savings.
    Being 8 times the size of a clay brick, AAC wall
    construction involves 1/3rd of the joints, thus an
    overall mortar savings up to 66%.
    Floor Space Area:Use of thinner blocks (6 instead of
    9 exterior walls) because of its excellent water barrio
    & insulation properties leads to an increase in floor
    space area between 3-5%.
