Abstract

The physical-mechanical properties of clay mixtures with vitreous tuffs of Flores cooperative were determined and performance of clay mixtures with 10 and 20% vitreous tuffs was also evaluated to obtain bricks. The following technological parameters were obtained by using different test methods: % water absorption, % weight loss and compression strength, as well as their performance during cooking temperature and drying. M-1 was the sample with highest compression resistance of all analyzed mixtures being the one with the best result according to the evaluated parameters.
