The influence of water saturation on mechanical properties of ceramic bricks – tests on 19th- century and contemporary bricks

The paper presents test results concerning ceramic bricks produced in 1880’s. Bricks were obtained from a building erected as part of Archduke Rudolf barracks in Krakow. The tests helped to specify changes in brick compressive strength and hardness, caused by water saturation in the ceramic material...
