Original Abstract

Clay as a traditional building material took the back seat in the constructional practice during the last century. It has caused a lack of reliable information about mechanical properties of this material. For contemporary clay structures the masonry and rammed constructions are of the greatest interest. Basic building element of the masonry constructions is a clay brick. Mechanical properties of clay bricks are dependent on the composition of used clay. The values for clay bricks we experimentally measured with common masonry clay are 6.5 MPa for compression strength and 2.5 MPa for tensile bending strength.
