Assist. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ahmed AliThis study aimed to: |
First: Producing lightweight clay bricks that meet the required specifications of durability, thermal and sound insulation, minimizing energy consumption, reducing dead loads, etc.
Second: treat the efflorescence problem accompanying the manufacture of bricks, which greatly affects the aesthetics and durability of buildings.
The study results showed the possibility of producing lightweight (spongy) clay bricks by adding local raw (sulfur ore) in different ratios and that the density of the bricks is inversely proportional to the ratio of the sulfur used. The results also showed that it is possible to treat the efflorescence in clay bricks by adding barium carbonate compound (BaCO3) in varying weight ratios proportional to the amounts of salts in the clay.
