Weight of red solid brick

Hollow cladding brick

Hollow bricks are produced with through and partially through holes. Due to the presence in the structure of the product of slit-like or round voids, the mass of the facing is much less than that of a full-bodied analogue. The weight of the facing hollow brick: ceramic ─ 2.3-2.8 kg. Hollow facing bricks are an additional heat-insulating layer that helps to keep the warmth of the house and save on heat carrier consumption. Hollow textured brick is beneficial to use for cladding old houses. The fairly modest weight of the textured layer allows the facade cladding to be performed on the existing foundation without reinforcing it. One-and-a-half brick differs from a standard product in its height (250 * 120 mm, h = 88 mm). The weight of one-and-a-half facing brick is 32.2-3.5 kg. The volume of voids significantly affects the digital data, and it, depending on the technology used by the manufacturer, can reach 15-50%.

Weight of facing, hollow bricks ─ 2.3-2.8 kg Weight of facing, hollow bricks ─ 2.3-2.8 kg

Of course, the one-time costs for decorating the facade with facing bricks are more than for finishing with plaster. However, the textured layer of facing bricks surpasses the texture of decorative plaster in terms of heat engineering indications, reliability and a longer (without repair) service life.

Calculation examples

Recently, many land owners prefer to engage in the construction of houses and outbuildings on their own. Of course, this process is considered complex and requires certain knowledge, but if you draw up a project correctly and calculate the consumption of bricks, then in the end you will be able to build a beautiful and durable building. The following examples will help beginners in calculating building materials.

The consumption of red solid bricks for the construction of a two-story house is 10 × 10 m. First of all, you need to know the entire length of the outer floors. Since the building will have 4 walls, the total length will be 40 m. With a ceiling height of 3.1 m, the area of ​​the outer walls of the two floors will be 248 m2 (s = 40 × 6.2). From the resulting indicator, you will have to subtract individual areas that are distant under door and window openings, since they will not be lined with bricks. Thus, it turns out that the area of ​​the walls of the future house will be 210 m2 (248 m2-38 m2).

For the construction of multi-storey buildings, it is recommended to make walls at least 68 cm thick, so the masonry will be made in 2.5 rows. First, the laying is carried out with ordinary single bricks in two rows, then facing with facing bricks is made in one row. The calculation of blocks in this case looks like this: 21 × 210 = 10710 units. In this case, a single ordinary brick for floors will be needed: 204 × 210 = 42840 pcs. The weight of the building material is calculated by multiplying the mass of one block by the total amount

In this case, it is important to take into account the brand of brick and its features.

Consumption of solid red brick for laying a wall is 5 × 3 m. In this case, the surface area to be laid out will be 15 m2. Since for the construction of 1 m2, you need to use 51 pieces. blocks, then this number is multiplied by the area of ​​15 m2. As a result, it turns out that 765 bricks are required for the construction of a 5 × 3 m floor. Since it is necessary to take into account mortar joints during construction, the resulting indicator will increase by about 10% /, and the consumption of blocks will be 842 pieces.

Since up to 275 units of red solid bricks are placed on one pallet, and its weight is 1200 kg, it is easy to calculate the required number of pallets and their cost. In this case, to build a wall, you will need to purchase at least 3 pallets.

Overview characteristics of red corpulent Votkinsk brick M 100 see below.

Types and sizes of oven bricks

When constructing a furnace, it is important to ensure such parameters as a long service life, high heat transfer rates, and optimal dimensions of the furnace. To achieve them, it is recommended to use a special oven brick.

When choosing it, it is important to take into account not only dimensions, but also physical properties. When the blocks have the correct shape, size, do not have any deviations in terms of appearance, and also provide good traction, then be sure that the built stove will serve you efficiently and for a long time.

Which brick is best to use for the oven. For the construction of a furnace, a suitable material is ceramic (the pros and cons of ceramic bricks are described here), grade M-150. But it is much better when the masonry of the structure is made from materials from several manufacturers. Single refractory bricks can be of several varieties. Each species has its own size, weight and physical properties.

The video tells about dimensions of oven bricks:

This product is based on alumina materials. They make up 70% of the total composition. When buying such a product, you must be guided by the following recommendations:

1. Tap a little and determine its quality by the sound. If you hear a metallic sound, the test item is solid.
2. You can determine the quality of a product by its color. If it is a faded shade, then it is not suitable.
3. Hit the brick hard to make it fall apart. If during this process dust has formed, then the product is of high quality.
4. If the surface of the material has a glassy coating, then this indicates that it has been severely burned out. During the construction of the furnace, such a brick will not provide adhesion.
5. Using a hammer, break the product into 2 parts. If the color inside becomes darker, then this indicates that the sample is burnt.

Facial red and double silicate

Observance of geometry is very important for the first type. Such material is always sold in a wide variety of shades and colors.

As for double sand-lime brick, when choosing it, it is important to take into account the degree of heating of the future structure.

See photos panels for kitchen with drawing.

Clinker

This material is one of the most versatile. It is allowed to be used for laying the stove both inside and outside the house. It has the following advantages:

• shock resistance;
• high environmental friendliness;
• attractive appearance;
• wear resistance;
• not subject to temperature differences;
• waterproofness.
• long-term operation;
• the brick is able to "breathe".

The process of making refractory in Russia began to be introduced back in the 19th century. At that time, steel was actively melted. But the melting process must take place at high temperatures. To solve the problem, it was necessary to use a material that could withstand such a temperature regime. Refractory brick production is based on refractory types of refractory clay.

Also his for masonry oven are distinguished by the components that make up it.

So, the following materials are distinguished:

1. Fireclay bricks contain a large amount of clay. The ease of obtaining the product made it possible to acquire the product in great demand in the construction market. It is actively used when laying stoves inside the house. To impart porosity to the brick, aluminum oxide is added to its composition. The lighter the brick, the more efficiently it conducts heat energy. With high-quality fired fireclay brick, it is possible to obtain a yellow tint. Here you can see the weight of fireclay bricks.
2. Quartz is obtained by combining chamotte and quartz sand. It is used where there is a direct effect of fire. It has a granular structure. In the photo - quartz brick:
3. The main brick is obtained by using fire-resistant lime-agnium masses.
4. The carbonaceous material is pressed coke or graphite, which is widely used in the construction of blast furnaces.

Hyper pressed brick

This type of product is the leader in the finishing materials market. Its technology is very simple, and production is established everywhere, so the price and delivery costs are quite affordable.

Brick is made from semi-dry mixtures of cement, lime and crushed stone. Due to the high pressure, the components interpenetrate, which ensures the strength of the finished products (minimum M250). Frost resistance is set at least 150 cycles. The peculiarity of the cladding made of hyper-pressed bricks is that over time it increases by 40 - 50%. The water absorption of masonry is no more than 5% - this is the best indicator among all types of finishing stones.

The range of colors of the products is wide, the coloring is persistent. Due to the relief of the molds, products with a different texture are obtained: smooth, chipped stone, semi-antique.

In terms of their properties, hyper-pressed products are close to natural stone, so they are quite massive. The weight of a single facing brick with standard dimensions is 4.2 kg, a half-block with dimensions 250 x 60 x 65 ("American standard") weighs half as much - 2 kg. Bricks "like a stone" are produced in a shortened version: 250 x 90 x 65, weight - 4 kg.

Ceramic facing brick

The manufacturing technology of products is rather complicated: they are made from red clay with additives, most often by plastic molding, followed by drying at 150 ° and high-temperature firing at 800 °. The resulting products have strength M150 - M250, their frost resistance - 25 - 50 cycles. Moisture absorption of ceramics - 10%

Products are produced both in solid and in hollow versions (air cells increase the thermal performance of the masonry). The surface is smooth, matte, with an imitation "like a stone". Various methods of painting are used: volumetric, surface (engobing), glazing. In the latter case, the glaze is applied only to the front side.

Ceramic masonry products are strictly standardized. Facing bricks have the dimensions and weights indicated in table 2.

table 2

Clinker facing brick

Clinker stones differ from ordinary ceramics in their increased strength (M400) and hardness, they are suitable not only for wall cladding, but for finishing plinths, window and door openings. Clinker is obtained from special types of clay at high temperatures. Due to their high density, the products almost do not absorb moisture, have excellent frost resistance (150 cycles), but at the same time their thermal conductivity is high.

The product formats are very diverse, they depend on the specific manufacturer. For facing bricks made of clinker, a considerable weight is characteristic, comparable only to the parameters of a hyper-pressed analogue. To reduce the load on the foundation, hollow clinker is used. Table 3 introduces the dimensions and weights of some types of clinker facing bricks.

Table 3

Views

The varieties of single bricks transported in pallets or pallets are quite diverse. The following main categories are usually distinguished.

• Red - made from natural clay, by passing molding and kiln firing. The finished product combines excellent strength characteristics, not too heavy weight - 3.6 kg for a full-bodied version, resistance to external weathering. The dimensions of the brick block are 215x12x6.5 cm.
• White - silicate, produced not from clay, but from quartz sand, the mass of which reaches 90% of the total volume. In addition, lime and various additives are present in the composition.The process of forming the product takes place by dry pressing, followed by processing of raw materials in an autoclave under steam action. Its high strength characteristics make it an attractive choice for finishing and cladding. But to lay out a stove or pipe made of white brick will not work - when heated over 200 degrees Celsius, it will simply burst.
• Fireclay. Refractory bricks for laying out stoves, fireplaces, chimneys are made from finely crushed chamotte, and special types of clay. It is produced in several of the most popular size ranges, depending on the brand, it can be transported on platforms of different sizes.
• Facing. It is produced in a hollow version, with a different pattern of recesses. Has standard dimensions 250x90x50 mm. There is also a yellow variety produced in both ceramic and clinker or hyper-pressed form. The size of one product in this case will be 250x120x65 mm.

The types of pallets used when transporting bricks are also of great importance. For example, when it comes to the size range and carrying capacity, only two options are used in the transport sector. Standard pallets or pallets have a loading capacity of no more than 750 kg, with a platform size of 1030x520 mm. There are also reinforced options. In this case, the pallet has dimensions of 1030x770 mm, and can withstand a weight of up to 900 kg. There are also Euro pallets used in the field of international transport, and meeting the requirements of the standard GOST 9078-84. Their dimensions are 1200x800 mm, the maximum carrying capacity is 1500 kg. All products for transportation are made from natural wood, with bars as stiffeners.

Advantages

The dimensions of white silicate bricks are considered the most optimal for repair and construction work. Sand-lime standard bricks have several significant advantages over ceramic bricks. Here are the pros and cons of ceramics.

It is worth highlighting the rather high characteristics in terms of sound insulation. which are considered to be important at the stage of building interior partitions.

Silicate brick is rightfully considered a quality material. The strength limit of the material in question, in compression, should be at least twenty milliamperes. On the packaging, this parameter is indicated by the letter "M" with a certain number (strength limit). For example: M100, M25.

The specified number must be taken into account when constructing real estate.

Brick with high strength will be the ideal base for a two-story house. But it cannot be used for the construction of nine-story structures.

This is because such a brick at a certain moment will begin to deform, which will lead to the destruction of the house. Another important parameter of a brick is its density. It cannot be less than one thousand three hundred kilograms per cubic meter.

Red brick is considered to be the most common building material. Here is the weight of the red brick.

Before painting or wallpapering, it is necessary to carry out puttying work to level the surface. Here's everything about latex putty.

Resistance of bricks to subzero temperatures. This number is equal to the number of freeze and thaw cycles that it is guaranteed to withstand.

The permissible temperature of use should be no more than 500 degrees. The cost of silicate depends a lot on technical features, and therefore on quality.

Therefore, when purchasing it, always pay attention to the manufacturer's license, because high-quality material will not only provide a good building facade. but also make the house safe and as strong as possible

In addition, the manufacturer will always indicate the size of the standard white sand-lime brick.

Silicate bricks are marketed in the form of briquettes established by GOST. But often manufacturers, in order to improve their position in the market, produce shaped bricks.It can have bevels, roundness, cut corners or, in general, an oval shape.

This brick is most often used by bricklayers who frame windows and cornices. At the same time, they no longer need to deform and cut off the silicate brick with a grinder.

Silicate is distinguished not only by the technical features described above, but also has specific dimensions and shape, etc.

If you pay attention to GOST, then the dimensions of the white sand-lime brick correspond to the parallelepiped shape. We also note that silicate bars are marketed as:

We also note that silicate bars are marketed as:

also hollow briquettes.

On the market, you can find single, double, and one-and-a-half counterparts.

Double, as well as single and one-and-a-half bricks have found their place in modern construction and are in particular demand.

According to this, their sizes are distinguished:

• Single silicate white. Standard size: 25X12X6.5. where the first number indicates the length, the second for the width, and the third for the thickness;
• One-and-a-half silicate briquette. The standard size of one-and-a-half brick is: 25X12X8.8. where the first number indicates the length, the second for the width, and the third for the thickness;
• Double white silicate briquette. Standard: 25X12X13.8.

For more information about the dimensions of sand-lime bricks, see the video:

Brick sizes, determined by GOST.

The main GOST, which determines the size of bricks, is GOST 530-2012 "Ceramic bricks and stones". With the increase in regulations and stricter requirements for the construction of houses and other structures, the range of brick sizes has expanded. There are the following main types of bricks:

1. Single (250x120x65 mm). Designation for European marking - RF;

2. Double (250x120x138 mm);

3. One and a half (250x120x88 mm);

4. Modular (280x130x80 mm);

5. Euro brick (250x85x65 mm).

In terms of shape, bricks are divided into:

• corpulent;
• hollow (slotted);

In addition to the overall dimensions of the brick, there are certain permissions for deviations from the norm (defects). The size of the deviations depends on the type of building material - building or facing. Stricter measures are imposed on facing materials, because the appearance of the building depends on its properties and characteristics.
For solid bricks, it is allowed:
1) The presence of dullness and chips of ribs and corners (no more than two) and no more than 1.5 cm in length along the rib;
2) Curvature of edges and edges no more than 0.3 cm;
3) On the lateral longitudinal edges, a crack with a length of up to 3 cm in width bricks.

For hollow bricks, it is allowed:

1) No more than two bumps at corners or edges 1-1.5 cm long, provided that they do not reach the voids;
2) Full thickness cracks in the bed. In width, they can reach the first row of voids;
3) One crack on the butt and spoon edges.

For facing bricks, it is prohibited:
1) Chipped corners, the depth of which exceeds 1.5 cm;
2) The presence of cracks;
3) Chipped ribs, the width of which is more than 0.3 cm, and the length exceeds 1.5 cm.

A facing material is considered the most suitable for work, in which:
1) No more than 1 bit of corners up to 1.5 cm deep;
2) Separation of handwriting, which in total does not exceed the length of 4 cm;
3) No more than 1 chipped ribs, not exceeding 3 cm in depth, and not more than 1.5 cm in length.

Modern architecture projects allow the use of bricks of various shapes and colors. The choice of building materials today is very diverse. There is an opportunity, without harm to the reliability and strength of the structure, to connect in the masonry variants of bricks of different texture, for example, artificially aged, variegated.

In order to reduce the weight of the structure, bricks of one and a half and double sizes are often made hollow. Large-scale porous blocks have become widespread in modern construction.The use of ceramic bricks simplifies and speeds up the construction process, while allowing to reduce the consumption of masonry composition, since this type of brick is lighter and warmer than usual.

How many pallets fit in a truck, KamAZ, length

If you need to load bricks into lengths, and the size of a pallet is, say, 1130x520, then their number will be 32. If loading is carried out in KamAZ, then with European sizes of pallets, their number will be 10-12 pieces. When transporting material in a wagon, their number reaches 32-33.

Brick is a very popular building material that is actively used today for various purposes. But today the process of transportation of the specified product takes place in special pallets. Thanks to them, it is possible to ensure simplicity and ease of transportation. In addition, it facilitates the process of recalculation to the seller, which is carried out by the sale of the specified product. Choose only high-quality goods, and then your building will serve you for a long time.

Discussion 2 comments

Brick has long been valued as a reliable building material. Our grandfathers also built houses of brick and they were always strong and you could live in them for more than a dozen years. Now, of course, they began to make bricks from a different material, but the basis is the same. I personally ordered four pallets of red bricks to build my house. Although it took a long time to climb the house, I am very pleased that I chose this particular material.

When we were building a house, they sold us bricks only with a full pallet. So they are not damaged at least during transportation. Unfortunately, the factory does not report bricks - for the sake of interest, they counted and were always missing about 30-35 bricks - this is a lot. One pallet came in ruins, so it is worth choosing a quality manufacturer, now we doubt the quality of the brick itself.

The state building codes indicate that the weight of a pallet with solid or hollow bricks should not exceed 850 kilograms, but such rules are often ignored by the manufacturer and the mass of material, taking into account packaging, can exceed one ton or exceed the recommended figure by two or more times. According to the requirements of the product, it can be stacked on pallets "herringbone", "on the edge" or "plate" with the obligatory banding of elements. The same building rules say that pallets with materials can be placed on a construction site in no more than two tiers.

For the convenience of transportation and preservation of goods, the container is wrapped with a special thickened film and tied with a metal tape. After manufacturing, the brick is sorted by type and brand and sent to separate zones for storage in the warehouse.

The weight of a pallet with a brick can be obtained from the seller or calculated independently, with the exception of products laid out at a certain angle - here the mass indicator may differ. When carrying out independent calculations, you need to have the following information: know the mass of a particular product and their number in the pallet.

Specifications

The ceramic brick obtained by firing from clay with the use of additives is distinguished by its high strength, level of frost resistance and moisture resistance. Ceramic products are environmentally friendly. A minor drawback is the cost and weight of this building material.

The slotted stone has technological holes that can occupy up to 45% of the total volume. This structural type significantly reduces the weight of red hollow bricks as opposed to solid stones.

The main characteristic properties of ceramic products are:

• water absorption from 6 to 16%;
• strength grade M50-300;
• frost resistance index - F25–100.

Varieties

The popularity and huge demand for double brick is due to its high performance. It can differ in texture, size, number of slots and shapes of voids. There are two types of blocks depending on the raw materials used for manufacturing.

Silicate

Their main feature is that the production is carried out from a mixture of 90% sand and 10% water. In addition, the product also contains additives that increase its quality. This is an absolutely environmentally friendly material that looks like natural stone. The process of making double silicate bricks is carried out by pressing a moistened mixture of lime and sand, after which various pigments are added to it, and sent for steam treatment. It can be either hollow, slotted or porous. By strength, silicate blocks are divided into grades from 75 to 300.

These blocks are most often used for laying out internal and external partitions. It is impossible to use silicate brick for the construction of basements and foundations of buildings, since the product is not resistant to moisture, and in the absence of a waterproofing layer, it can be subject to destruction. It is not recommended to make double silicate bricks and laying pipes, ovens. It will not withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

As for the advantages, this product has excellent sound insulation and has the correct geometric shape. Despite the large weight of such bricks, their laying is quick and easy. In terms of their density, silicate products are 1.5 times higher than ceramic ones, therefore they provide durable and high-quality masonry. In addition, silicate double blocks are 30% cheaper than other types.

Ceramic

They are a modern building material that is used in almost all types of construction work. Its feature is considered to be large, which is usually 250 × 120 × 138 mm. Thanks to such non-standard dimensions, construction is accelerated, and the consumption of concrete pouring is significantly reduced. In addition, double ceramic bricks are in no way inferior in strength to conventional blocks, so it can be used when erecting load-bearing and self-supporting structures in buildings no more than 18 m high.The product is also characterized by high thermal insulation, the buildings laid out of it are always warm, and they are constantly maintained optimal microclimate.

The main advantage of double ceramic bricks is its affordable cost, while many manufacturers often make good discounts when purchasing blocks for the construction of a large object. These blocks, in addition to high quality, also have an aesthetic appearance. Usually brick is red in color, but depending on the additives, it can also acquire other shades. The product is environmentally friendly, and even with prolonged use and exposure to the external environment, it does not emit harmful substances.

These blocks are transported on pallets, where they usually fit up to 256 pieces. As for the marking, it can be different, more often everyone chooses M-150 and M-75 bricks for the construction of objects. In addition, double ceramic blocks are subdivided into solid and hollow; not only their price, but also their heat capacity depends on this parameter. Hollow bricks cannot be used for the construction of load-bearing walls, in this case only solid bricks are allowed. Despite the fact that the first is lightweight and significantly reduces the overall load on the foundation, the inherent cracks in it affect the thermal conductivity.

In addition, double bricks are subdivided into the following types.

• Private. These blocks are ideal for laying stoves, fireplaces and foundations. The only thing is that the front layout requires additional finishing.
• Facial. It is produced in clinker and hyper-pressed versions. It can be either solid or hollow bricks.Unlike ordinary blocks, face blocks are produced in curly, trapezoidal, rounded and twisted shapes. As for the color, it is dark brown, gray, red, yellow and brown.

How much does a silicate brick weigh?

Silicate brick belongs to the category of artificial building materials for the construction of vertical enclosing structures. The characteristics are excellent, the scope of application is wide, but do not forget that the type of foundation or supporting elements depends on such a parameter as the mass of white brick. Therefore, even for the simplest calculations, you need to know the weight.

Types and characteristics

White brick is produced by a non-fired method from a mixture of lime binder, silica filler (quartz sand, fly ash, sludge, etc.) and a small amount of water to moisten the mixture. In production conditions, raw materials are pressed and autoclaved. Due to this, the finished block gains the required parameters:

1. The compressive strength is marked with the M75-M300 brand.

2. Thermal conductivity - up to 0.87 W / m * K.

3. Frost resistance: withstands from 15 to 50 complete freeze-thaw cycles when fully immersed in water.

4. Density: porous or lightweight up to 1500 kg / m³. Products with an index exceeding this indicator are called dense.

5. Water absorption - 6-16%.

Plants produce a silicate block of the following dimensions:

• Single: 250x120x65 mm.
• One and a half or thickened: 250x12x88.
• Double: 250x120x103.
• Embossed: 250x90x65.

According to the field of application, a distinction is made between working or ordinary brick and facing. The latter is used for finishing facades, foundations, basements, fences.

The structure for all sizes is typical:

• full-bodied or monolithic product;
• hollow products, with a void content of up to 15% (3-void), 25% (11-void) and 31% (14-void).

White brick produced in accordance with GOST 379-95 "Bricks and silicate stones" must have a standard weight according to the table below.

The data from the table are corrected for the weight of auxiliary materials. That is, for example, the weight of one one-and-a-half solid silicate brick made according to the basic recipe from lime and sand is 4.2 kg / pc. The total weight of the building material laid on the Euro pallet is 840 kg, but the pallet itself, protective film and fixing straps are added to this. Accordingly, the cargo prepared for transportation will weigh approximately 846 kg.

The weight of a hollow silicate block 250x120x88 is less than a solid analogue precisely due to the cracks, but during the construction process they will be filled with mortar, so the total mass of the masonry will increase significantly. This must also be taken into account when calculating the project plan.

Before buying, you need to carefully inspect the proposed product. The surface must be firm, even, free of chips, chamfered corners, cracks and cavities. If the product crumbles in the hand, slightly crumbles, it means that it was overdried or underdried, therefore it is not suitable for the construction of walls - it will quickly collapse.

White silicate bricks, along with red ceramic bricks, occupy a worthy place in the category of building materials for fencing.

Before starting any type of construction, it is required to accurately calculate how much consumable material, including.

With the advent of new building materials, which significantly speed up and reduce the cost of construction of buildings, but do not have.

What determines the weight of the facing brick?

• How much can a clay brick weigh?
• How is the calculation done?

Facing bricks are used for the construction of buildings. Its rectangular appearance with various cavities inside allows beautiful buildings of various shapes to be created. Being engaged in the construction of a private house on your own, you should calculate the various loads that the base of the house will bear, therefore, the weight of the facing brick is required for the calculations. It depends on the size and shape. Manufacturers offer a variety of colors and shades, from which you can choose the one suitable for finishing work.The most common among buyers has become a single one, which fits under the joining. The construction of external walls with its use is much more economical, because the lined walls do not require plastering work. Using various colors and shades of modern building materials, today they are erecting beautiful houses and cottages, which were previously impossible in Russia due to insufficiently developed private construction. It is used everywhere, performing critical work that places high demands on the appearance of the surface of the walls. The jointing made gives the structure an ideal appearance.

Wall cladding with thickened facing bricks.

Facing bricks are made by mixing limestone, cement and dye in certain proportions. Unlike ordinary bricks, it is suitable for decorative purposes. It is used when laying the foundation, laying sidewalks with it, replacing paving slabs, revealing old buildings. The perfect geometric shape with straight, sharp lines looks great. The walls retain their appearance, do not collapse from negative environmental influences. Modern production produces a varied number of clay bricks, which can be full-bodied, contain voids inside, which serve to increase the thermal properties of the masonry. The weight of a brick depends on many parameters. The size, the presence of voids - all this affects the volume and changes the mass.

To find out the total load on the foundation of a building, you need to know the weight of the clay brick.
