Such bricks were found to have comparable properties with the fusion-casting refractory bricks currently used in lining the basin of the electric glass melting furnaces.
Volumetric shrinkage, weight loss and efflorescence properties of sludge-amended bricks were found to be favorable and it was estimated that an energy saving of 15 47% could potentially be achieved during firing with 10 40% tannery sludge-amended bricks.
After a search through salvage yards and other sources, vintage bricks were found to match the size, pattern and groove depth of the existing bricks.
The theoretical grey water footprint of a brick was found to be 1.3 L, a value that would have been higher if in-situ wastewater treatment had not been operated before effluent discharge.
Kirkpatrick Chapel was designed to complement the Gothic Revival brownstone exterior masonry of Geology Hall which was constructed the year before of New Jersey brownstone after Hardenbergh's earlier proposal for brick was found to be prohibitively expensive and overbudget.
In terms of physical, geotechnical and chemical assessment for pipe backfilling applications, recycled concrete aggregate and crushed brick were found to have the properties recommended by environmental protection authorities while reclaimed asphalt pavement material did not meet some of the specified requirements.
A royal funerary enclosure made of mud bricks was found close to Peribsen's tomb.
Standard compression test was performed on three units of the used lightweight brick and the average compressive strength was found to be 4.1 MPa.
The green roof substrate, prepared using 30% perlite, 20% vermiculite, 10% sand, 20% crushed brick, 10% cocopeat and 10% T. conoides, was found to have favourable characteristics such as low bulk density (477.7 kg/m3), high WHC (49.5%), AFP (20.5%) and HC (4210 mm/h).
Mud bricks were found at the base of the pyramid, which are not associated with the pyramid itself, but are interpreted as remnants of a construction ramp.
