Features of Properties, Application and Requirements for Clinker Brick

There shown an importance of introducing certain standards of building and paving brick in terms of peculiarities of their usage. The main groups of factors conditioning the necessity of the development of governing documents are stated: the field of arch brick usage, demands for providing the brand of the products according to the compressive and bending, dividing the arch brick into two groups according to the absorption of water, demands for brick mortar, development of classification according to shape and size. The problems of modern methods of testing clinker products for frost resistance. It is proved that the introduction of separate regulations on the building and paving brick will increase demand and expand the scope of the application of such products by designers, architects, and builders. It is proposed to establish a working group to develop proposed regulations and the organization of further public discussion of the proposed versions of the standards.
