- PROPERTIES
- • hardness (medium-high)
- • fragility(medium)
- • ductility (low)
- • flexibility/plasticity (low)
- • porosity/permeability (medium)
- • density (medium)
- • conductivity (poor)

- • cost (effective
- • hardness (medium-high)
- CONSIDERATION
- Bricks are permeable
- Advantage: can be joined with water
based mortar and allow wetness escape
- Disadvantage: they absorb moisture and
expand overtime and cause efflorescence
