Microstructure and mechanical properties of clay bricks: comparison between fast firing and traditional firing

Author(s) : Dondi M. , Marsigli M. , Venturi I.
Description : Clay bricks fired using a traditional slow cycle and an innovative fast cycle were compared from the microstructural and mechanical viewpoints. Tests were performed on both a laboratory and a semi-industrial scale. For products with equivalent water absorption, fast firing leads to higher bend stren...
