- Abstract
- It has been shown previously that the properties of some laterite building bricks abundant in tropical areas can be improved by stabilization through heat at low temperatures. Further investigations based on a series of laboratory tests were carried out on these brick specimens subjected to uniaxial compressive loading at room temperature. The characteristics of the stress-strain relationship are presented for predicting brick performance. When subjected to deformation, they behaved nonlinear plastic-elastic-plastic. They were found to exhibit linear elasticity in a domain where strain varied between 2 and 5% according to the type. These values of strain were found to be higher than the maximum elastic strain (0.5%) observed for many ceramics. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
