Can cement bricks and concrete bricks be used together in the same wall construction?
I think that they can, if they are both used correctly, the cement and concrete bricks can be put together in the same wall construction. :) <><><> I think you need to define some words. Concrete is made by mixing portland cement, water, and sand/crushed stone. There ARE no "cement bricks" Traditional bricks are made by mixing clay, shale, and water, and baking them in a kiln (oven) at high temperatures. And yes, regular clay brick and concrete brick/ block are frequently both used in a wall. Together.
Which is better cement hollow brick or red clay brick for construction of apartment?
The red clay brick is better than hollow brick for construction of apartments. Because bands should be constructed at every 5-10 feet height if we adopt hollow bricks. Moreover, red clay bricks have higher strength than hollow bricks.
Is clay brick cheaper than concrete block for house construction?
Cement bricks are generally stronger than clay bricks and more affordable. They do however not have the aesthetic value of most clay bricks therefor mostly require the wall to be plastered. Clay bricks on the other hand is strong enough and is split into separate categories of their own from face bricks, semi-face bricks and stock bricks. With face bricks being more expensive and have much more aesthetic value, these walls are almost never plastered and the bricks are always visible. Whether you use clay bricks or cement bricks will mostly depend on your budget, your need and what you want the building to look like.

Is cement a rock?
From the Portland Cement Association:Bricklayer Joseph Aspdin of Leeds, England first made portland cement early in the 19th century by burning powdered limestone and clay in his kitchen stove. By this crude method he laid the foundation for an industry which annually processes literally mountains of limestone, clay, cement rock, and other materials into a powder so fine it will pass through a sieve capable of holding water. Cement is so fine that one pound of cement contains 150 billion grains.So, I think you could say that cement is a rock (limestone) derivative.

What do they use to stick bricks together?
Mortar is used to stick bricks together. It can be either: * cement mortar: a mixture of water, sand and cement, or * lime mortar: a mixture of lime, sand and water.(This is not used often for modern construction because of its porosity) * clay mud mortar: a mixture of clay sand, water (only used in some adobe construction) Lime is sometimes added to cement mortar to improve workability, waterproof qualities, and reduce shrinkage. Straw is sometimes added to clay mortar to reduce shrinkage.

Clay. Mud (with or without clay) is the oldest material from which bricks are made.
