Paper Title
Critical Review on Types of Bricks Type 8: Concrete Bricks
Abstract
Brick is the most commonly used building material for construction. The CO2 emissions in the brick
manufacturing process affects the green environment. Therefore, focus should be now more on seeking eco – friendly
solutions for greener environment. The conventional masonry unit used is clay bricks for construction of masonry works but
with advancement of time these clay bricks were replaced by fly ash bricks of same size But with respect to time due to
advancement in technologies concrete blocks of size varying as per the purpose of masonry work is being on the use This
research paper presents the introduction to such masonry units through its manufacturing process and various tests.The use
of concrete masonry units for high rise load bearing construction has created a need for concrete block with high
compressive strength.
Keywords - Concrete Bricks, Process of Manufacturing, History, Testing of Brick
