  Brick:- Basically brick is a type of block which is used for the construction of wall and other building components. Classification of bricks - The brick can broadly be divided into two categories ·          1. Unburnt brick :         T he unburnt or sun dried bricks are dried  with the help of heat received from sun after the        process of moulding .These bricks can only be used in the construction of temporary and     cheap structure.  Such bricks should not be used at places exposed to heavy rains. ·            ·          2 . Burnt bricks- These are classified in four categories. ·         (i) First class Bricks:-   These bricks are table – moulded and of standard shape and they are burnt in kilns.   The surfaces and edges of ...

  The volume of one 50 kg bag of cement is 34.5 litres   About 19 litres (38%) of water is required to hydrate 50 kg cement in sealed container.   The ordinary Portland cement when tested for its compressive strength at 28 days   according to the method describe by the standard specification, yields a minimum compressive strength of 43N/mm2 is called 43 grade  cement . Too fine cement is susceptible to air set and deteriorates earlier.   The setting time of cement can be controlled by varying the quantity of gypsum in cement. Sometime with the addition of water to cement, a premature set occurs within 5 minutes. This is called false set an is due to  the presence of anhydrous gypsum which is formed due to grinding of gypsum with too hot clinker .this is not to be worried .continuous mixing aggregates , cement and water will break the false set without  harming any property of the concrete .  The ability of cement to mainta...

  ·          Building mortar is define as a mixture of cement, sand and water. ·          Mortar is similar to concrete but it does not contain coarse aggregate. ·          Mortar are used for filing joints as a binder in stone and brick masonry   Bulking of sand ·          In the case of aggregates there is another effect of the presence of moisture viz. bulking which is an increase in the volume of a given sand particle apart. for a moisture content of about 5-8 % depending upon the   increase of volume may be as much as 20-40% depending upon the grading of sand . ·          Finer the materials more will be the increase in volume for a given moisture content. Classification of mortars ·          Mortars are classified on the basis of ...
