The compressive strength of bricks varies depending on the type of bricks and what they are used for. The compressive strength of conventional red bricks is 40 to 65 Kg/cm2. In comparison, flyash bricks have a compressive strength of 70 to 120 Kg/cm2.
bricks are tested for compressive strength so that we can know whether it will bear the load or not.........
According to TS 2514 compressive strength of dried brick have to higher than 1MPa
load bearing capacity
The compressive strength of bricks varies depending on the type of bricks and what they are used for. The compressive strength of conventional red bricks is 40 to 65 Kg/cm2. In comparison, flyash bricks have a compressive strength of 70 to 120 Kg/cm2.

Due to high strength, practically no breakage during transport and use.Due to uniform size of bricks mortar required for joints and plaster reduces almost by 50%.Due to lower water penetration seepage of water through bricks is considerably reduced.gypsum plaster can be directly applied on these bricks without a backing coat of lime plaster.These bricks do not require soaking in water for 24 hours. Sprinkling of water before use is enough.DisadvantagesMechanical bonding strength is weak. But this can be rectified by adding marble waste.Limitation of size. Only modular size can be produced. Large size will have more breakages.

Tensile testing machine, Brick strength testing machine, Computerized compression testing machine are the instruments used. Compressive strength of burnt clay bricks is determined by compressive test.
As per the Indian standard specifications 3495 ,Compressive Strength, Water Absorption, Efflorescence and Dimensions are the tests to be carried out on bricks.

To strengthen ISS bricks, additional reinforcing materials such as fibers or polymer additives can be added to the concrete mix. Increasing the density or adding more cement can also improve the strength of the bricks. Additionally, proper curing techniques and quality control during the production process can help enhance the overall strength and durability of the bricks.
The bricks from the Lego Star Wars toys are compatible with standard lego bricks. Most lego sets have bricks that are completely compatible. The only exception would be a specialty item which may be made for specific sets only.
The bricks or blocks should be dry. Most masons will cover them before a rain. Part of the strength in the joint is the penetration of the mortar into the bricks porous surface, which is why structural blocks should not be used more than once.
That's exactly what they called it. Sun-Baked Bricks. I have that word in my vocabulary list, and I don't think there is a specific name for it
