PRODUCTION OF BRICKS

Title Production of Bricks.

Due to the commonly use of bricks, Production has becoming very important so that manufacturer are able to supply to consumer to be used.

Therefore, production is slowly evolved due to technology advancement; it has change instead of human production way changed to machine production.

The video above is showing production of bricks using human forces. It’s very amazing that both of the people is making the bricks extremely fast and perfect. Somehow it’s still not as fast enough as the production of machine.

This video shows and example of machine brick making process where it can produce 1450 bricks per hour. I wonder how human can produce in a day compare to machine.

    BRICK MASONSORY CONTRUCTION TIPS
1. bricks which are sound, hard, well burnt and tough with uniform colour shape and size can be used in perform of the good brick masonry.

2. The bricks should be compact, homogeneous, free from holes, cracks, flaws, air-bubbles and stone lumps. These bricks also need to properly soaked in water for at least two hours before use.

3. In the construction brick work, the bricks should be laid on their beds with the frogs pointing upwards.

4. The brick courses should be laid truly horizontal and should have truly horizontal besides also should have truly vertical joints.

5. As far as possible the use of brick-bats should be discouraged.

6. The brick walls should be raised uniformly with proper bond. Generally the construction of brick masonry  should be less than 1.5m height in a day . The maximum difference in rise of the wall between the different portions should not be more than one meter.

7. When the mortar is green, the face joints should be raked to a depth of 12 to 19mm in order to have a proper key for plastering or pointing. The mortar joints should be stuck flush and finished if no plastering or pointing is to be done in the brickwork.

8. The walls should be stopped with a toothed end in order ro ensure continuous bond between the old and the new layout brick.

9. Finished brickwork in lime mortar has to be cured for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. This period can be shorter to 1 to 2 weeks in case of brickwork with cement mortar.

10.A single scaffolding is used for carry out the brickwork at higher level.
