| description | In general, firing process in brick manufacturing could affect the properties, colours and
appearance of the brick. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different heating
rates on physical and mechanical properties during the firing of standard bricks and bricks
incorporated with cigarette butt (CB). In this investigation, two different heating rates were used:
slow heating rate (2ºC min-1) and fast heating rate (5ºC min-1). Samples were fired in solid forms from
room temperature to 1050ºC. All bricks were tested for their physical and mechanical properties
including compressive strength, initial rate of absorption and density. Higher heating rates decrease
compressive strength value but slightly increase the initial rate of absorption and density properties
respectively. In conclusion, higher heating rates are able to produce adequate physical and mechanical
properties especially for CB Brick. |
