USES OF BRICKS
1.
First class bricks are used for superior works, second class bricks for
ordinary works, third class bricks for unimportant works and fourth class
bricks for temporary works.
2.
Construction Purposes: Bricks are used for the
construction of (i) Walls, partition walls, compound walls and columns, (ii)
Different components of bridges such as piers, abutments, arches, etc. and
(iii) Partitions, etc., in roads.
3.
Hollow Bricks: They are used in compound walls due to
their light weight.
4.
Perforated Bricks: Bricks with perforations are used
for heat insulation purpose.
5.
Broken Bricks: Broken pieces of bricks are used as
coarse aggregates in concrete which is used in foundations, floors, roads, etc.
6.
Bricks when moulded in the shape of a gutter can be used as drains.
7.
Pressed Bricks: Pressed bricks are used for decorative
works in the facing of a wall and very high quality works. Sand-lime bricks are
used for ornamental works.
8.
Paving Bricks: Paving bricks made from rock clay
containing high percentage of iron. These bricks resist abrasion better. Hence,
these can be used for pavements, roads, etc.
9.
Refractory Fire Bricks: These bricks are used for lining
the interiors of furnaces, flues, chimneys, boilers, ovens and other fire
places which are subjected to very high temperature.
