What is the effect of the seasoning of bricks on strength?
If you mean in general, then no. The strength of any material doesn't depend on the specific gravity of that material, be it a solid or paste. Neither of the compressive, tensile or shear strength depends on density. For example, two grades of steel might have the same specific gravity but very diffRead more
If you mean in general, then no. The strength of any material doesn’t depend on the specific gravity of that material, be it a solid or paste.
Neither of the compressive, tensile or shear strength depends on density. For example, two grades of steel might have the same specific gravity but very different strengths. Cast iron is stronger in compression and wrought iron in tension despite the same densities. You can design two concrete mixes with the same densities and compare the strengths to check yourself!

The seasoning of bricks is exactly expressed as allowing the brick to absorb water. It is also known as weathering of bricks. The moisture obtained by the bricks should be able to react with the chemical in the brick. If the moisture obtained by the brick is in its limit and any swelling or deteriorRead more
The seasoning of bricks is exactly expressed as allowing the brick to absorb water. It is also known as weathering of bricks. The moisture obtained by the bricks should be able to react with the chemical in the brick. If the moisture obtained by the brick is in its limit and any swelling or deterioration is observed to weed out this damaged brick. Then only sound bricks that are seasoned are used.
