Both concrete and clay bricks experience expansion and contraction due to heat gain and loss. Clay bricks typically have core holes while concrete bricks are usually frogged. Cores and frogs are designed to reduce weight and aid in the drying and firing process. A concrete brick typically weighs more than a clay brick due to its higher density.

Clay-sized particles have little effect on compressive strength [fig.
The ability of a clay particle to attract water and cations and to increase in volume will act to influence the properties of the concrete. As the clay comes in contact with the hatch water, water molecules are drawn into the layered clay particle causing an ex pansion and weakening the particle.
It is very important to control the quality of the aggregate to be used in concrete making. Most importantly, the effect of the clay/silt content of sand on the compressive strength of concrete must be controlled. Materials used ordinary portland cement of grade 53 is used for this.

Sep 9, 2020 [22] concluded that mixing marine clay with portland cement and copper slag had negative effects on strength properties; however, the inclusion.
Clay may occur in cement mortar or concrete due to the use of sand or aggregate that is not clean. As the plasticity of cement mortar is increased by the presence of clay, small amounts are sometimes added to produce this effect, and clay is also sometimes used to render mortar stiff enough to withstand immediate immersion in water.
For all these clay quantities, the quantities of water and cement have not been changed, and the all results were compared to the properties of concrete which does not contain clay particles.

This implies that 44% of concrete’s compressive strength is contributed by combination of silt and clay content and organic impurities in sand. Other factors such as particle shapes, texture, workability and mode of sand formation also play a key role in determination of concrete strength.

Jul 3, 2020 generally, the variations of concrete properties with the increasing clay fines were: (1) the workability and split tensile strength reduced.
Results also shows that concrete mixtures with ceramic aggregates perform better than the control concrete mixtures concerning compressive strength, capillarity water absorption, oxygen perme-ability and chloride diffusion.
The interface between the soil and concrete was located exactly between the two halves of the shear box, as shown in figure 2, to investigate the effect of the normal stress history and the degree of unloading on the shear behaviour and strength at the soil-concrete interface.

In the interest of increasing allowable limits of microfine ( 75 μ m) aggregates in concrete, it is important to understand the effects of ultrafine particles (∼ 5 μ m) on concrete performance, including those of clay and nonclay mineralogy. The present study examines both of these types of ultrafine particles.
The results show that adding kaolinite clay (1% by mass of cement) is effective way to improve the chloride resistance of concrete. Research indicates that the introduction of 1–3% nanoclay results in even higher compressive strength, lower permeability, and higher acid resistance within concrete structures.
6 n/mm2 respectively, and the higher the percentage of clay/silt in sand the lower the concrete strength. It is very important to control the quality of the aggregate to be used in concrete making. Most importantly, the effect of the clay/silt content of sand on the compressive strength of concrete must be controlled.
