Clay Brick Plant

Abstract

Bricks are a significant basic material of construction required in all spheres of constructional activities and constitute about 13 percent of the total cost of building material required for construction. By and large three types of materials are used in walling viz. Conventional Burnt Clay Bricks, different types of board and Concrete Blocks/Bricks. It has been established that the use of clay bricks provide a superior and comfortable physical living environment than the use of other materials as far as residential construction is concerned. Despite all initiatives to introduce alternative walling materials like compressed earth block, concrete/stone Crete block and fly-ash brick, it is envisaged that burnt clay bricks would still occupy the dominant position.
