Record 5 2011-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Man-Made Construction Materials
DEF

Light-gray brick, made from a mixture of sand and lime, molded under pressure and cured with steam.

OBS

Because of their relatively high strength, these mixes are not to be used with sand-lime brick or concrete brick, since this could result in cracking of the masonry units, except that a mix incorporating 1 part of masonry cement to 3 parts of aggregate by volume is permitted in addition to the lower strength mixes shown.

Key term(s)
  • silico-lime brick

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériaux de construction artificiels
DEF

Brique faite d'un mélange moulé sous pression de sable humide et de chaux éteinte.

OBS

Vu leur résistance assez élevée, ces mélanges ne doivent pas être utilisés avec des briques silico-calcaires ou en béton si on veut éviter la fissuration des éléments de maçonnerie, sauf qu'un mélange de 1 volume de ciment de maçonnerie pour 3 volumes de granulats est autorisé en plus des mélanges donnés de moindre résistance.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Materiales de construcción artificiales
DEF

Ladrillo fabricado por presión con mezcla de arena y cal. Su endurecimiento se efectúa en auto-clave.
