In the world of construction and building materials, bricks play a vital role. It is important to use the best quality of building construction materials to build any type of structure to avoid problems in the long run. Bricks are used for construction of load bearing masonry walls, columns and footings. These load bearing masonry structures experiences mostly the compressive loads. Thus, it is important to know the strength of bricks to check for its suitability for construction. Here are a few tips that can help you conduct an effective brick test to determine its quality. Bricks are one of the most important materials for building a home. So it's important to choose the best quality bricks for construction. • Clap test - When you strike two bricks together, you should hear a metallic 'clink'. • Drop test - When you drop it from a height of about 4 feet, the brick should not break or crack. • Crack test - The brick should be even from all sides and smooth on the edges, meaning there should be no cracks. • Water weight test - When you immerse it in a bucket of water it's weight should not increase more than 15% Log on to our website to know more about home building

#BaatGharKi #UltraTechCement http://bit.ly/2qVqCct Clay Brick vs Concrete Block Explaination:

Advantages of Concrete Block Concrete blocks are more efficient compared to clay bricks while building a home.

Let us know more about the advantages of concrete blocks. Bricks are used in construction most of the times... but concrete blocks are a better option… let us understand how

1: First, due to their large sizes, less jointing material is used and because of their accurate shapes less plastering layer is required

2: Second, a concrete block absorbs less water compared to the brick so the dampness level in walls is also less in comparison

3: Third, concrete blocks are more economical compared to bricks

4: Lastly, making clay bricks requires fertile soil and burning of wood while on the other hand, making concrete block is more eco-friendly This is why concrete block are better than clay bricks To Summarize Concrete blocks are stronger, eco-friendly and economical

Concrete mix is the mixture of cement, sand, water and coarse aggregates is integral to the construction process. Durable concrete construction requires selection of the best quality construction materials.

The coarse aggregate should be well graded and free from Alkali reactivity.

The sand should be free from silt, salt, moisture and gravel and its fineness modulus should be between 2.6 and 2.9.

So it is very important to be cautious while selecting the right aggregate for your home construction. • When you build your home ensure that the sand being used us clean i.e.

it should be free of salt, soil, and garbage as these will hamper the quality of sand. • The coarse aggregates should be free from salt, chemicals, and clay.

• The aggregates should be long and flat. • Good quality aggregates soak less water and you can ask an engineer for its mineral composition. • During construction the water being used should be clean and free from salts and minerals. Consult the experts to help to test all the parameters to make sure that you are selecting the building materials for your home construction. Brought to you by
