Assesment of clay bricks compressive strength using quantitative values of colour components
AbstractThis study was conducted to assess the relationships among firing temperature, colour components and compressive strength of bricks. Lightness (L*) and chromaticity (a* and b*) of 10 replicated brick samples fired at temperatures 700–1050°C in steps of 25°C under free access of air, were measured with a colorimeter, which uses an L* a* b* colour space. Increasing firing temperature significantly increased the compressive strength of bricks. The values of L* slightly increased with firing temperature up to around 800°C then decreased as temperature increased further. The values of b* and a* increased with increasing firing temperature up to around 900°C then rapidly decreased with further increases in firing temperature. A negative relationship occurred between each of L*, a*, and b* and compressive strength. Compressive strength was adequately described by colour components of L* and b* by linear regression equations (R2=0.87 for L*, and R2=77 for b*). However, the relationship occurred between a* and compressive strength was quite poor. It was concluded that the numerical values of colour components of L* and b* may be used to predict and judge the compressive strength of bricks. However, the method can not be generalized before its calibrated with different raw materials under different firing conditions.
