Concrete building bricks (ASTM C55)manufactured for general use in non-facing, utilitarian applications
Concrete facing bricks (ASTM C1634)used where faces are intended to be exposedhave stricter requirements maximum allowable water absorption is less minimum net area compressive strength is higher

1. Clays are composed mainly of silica (grains of sand), alumina, lime, iron, manganese, sulfur, and phosphates, with different proportions.
2. Bricks are manufactured by grinding or crushing the clay in mills and mixing it with water to make it plastic. The plastic clay is then molded, textured, dried, and finally fired.
3. Bricks are manufactured in different colors, depending on the firing temperature of the clay during manufacturing.

mixture of cementitious material, aggregate, and waterMortar can be classified as cement-lime mortar, cement mortar, or masonry cement mortar
Used for the following functions:bonding masonry units together, either non-reinforced or reinforcedserving as a seating material for the unitsleveling and seating the unitsproviding aesthetic quality of the structure

High-slump concrete consisting of PC, sand, fine gravel, water, and sometimes lime
Used to fill the cores or voids in hollow masonry units for the purpose of:1. bonding the masonry units2. bonding the reinforcing steel to the masonry3. increasing the bearing area4. increasing fire resistance5. Improving overturning resistance by increasing weight
The minimum compressive strength of grout is 14 MPa(2000 psi) at 28 days

Masonry is one of the oldest building technologies.Modern masonry units are produced to high standards inthe manufacturing process. While the strength of themasonry units is important for quality control, the strengthof masonry construction is generally limited by the abilityto bond the units together with mortar.
The ability of masonry units to resist environmentaldegradation is an important quality consideration. Thisability is closely related to the absorption of the masonryunits.
