Qualities of a ;irst class

Brick The brick should be uniform and light It should be of standard size and shape

It should gi!e a clear metallic sound "hen strucktogether.

hould not contain eEorescence

Crushing strength shouldn9t be belo" /./+ FGmm*

hould ha!e lo" thermal conducti!ity.

Conclusion Thus we can conclude with thatbricks are the most important

materials for Civil Engg.Construction, so bricks shouldbe superior in uality thushaving the right composition of

raw materials.
