Ancient Clay Bricks: Manufacture and Properties [PDF]
, 2010 The physical, mechanical and chemical properties of ancient fired clay bricks are addressed. A literature survey is carried out and samples of old Portuguese bricks dated from the 12th to 18th centuries are considered. A high porosity (15-40 %) and water absorption (10-20 %) is found.

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Quality Control of Clay Bricks
, 2008 The quality control test for the durability of clay bricks based on saturation coefficients can be shortened using a one-min or one-h cold water absorption. The accuracy of current quality control procedures can be improved if both absorption and saturation coefficients are used together.
