Características geométricas, físicas y mecánicas de mampuestos cerámicos huecos fabricados en Uruguay

this article presents a study of the geometric, physical and mechanical properties of a selection of hollow ceramic bricks produced in uruguay, based on results of laboratory tests that determined their size, shape deviations, coefficients of absorption and water suction and compressive strength. a study of tests results is made in order to determine the feasibility of the technique of hollow ceramic bricks as a structural material and the analysis of the cares required in the design and construction stages for building in this material.
