Brick

A brick is a block used in masonry construction, usually laid using mortar. It’s made from sculpted ceramic material. The differences types of bricks are categorized by two things, the compression they have and the length and weight. The more used is the hole brick and the standard length (But in different countries it can be a variable). There are names for these: the half of bat, three-quarter closure, quarter closure, king closure, queen closure and split brick. (Look the image for more information). Using this material the people usually do the technique or practice of lying bricks, a different and ancient technique that have a lot of ways to build a building (Look to the pictures for more information). The first bricklaying technique refers to Runnig, the most classical: it consits in bricks one by one above another in the middle way. The second reffers to the common american bricklaying: In this technique there are two types of bricks, a short brick and a large brick as in the picture. The advantages of brick are that can be shaped and sculpted, and its strong to compression and do not are very heavy, the disadvantages are that are weak to the hits, and can be broken easily with a medium force. media type="file" key="brick.mp3"
