AFANADOR GARCIA, Nelson; GUERRERO GOMEZ, Gustavo y MONROY SEPULVEDA, Richard. MECHANICAL & PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SOLID, MASONRY CERAMIC BRICKS. Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2012, vol.22, n.1, pp.43-58. ISSN 0124-8170.
ABSTRACT This paper results of evaluating mechanical properties of hand-made, ceramic solid bricks in Ocaña town, after applying physical characterization tests of clay used as a raw material for subsequent non-destructive & destructive quality control testing selected from different brickworks or production units. That test was based on "Methods for masonry sampling and testing units and other products clay", a Colombian technical standard NTC-4017 [16], which let to know material characteristics and properties of structural elements by analyzing mainly elastic and compressive strength module as parameters with direct influence upon building stiffness (see Hemant B. et al [11] y Takeuchi C. [20]) covered by Colombian Earthquake Resistant Construction Code, 2010 (NSR-10) [4].
