Masonry Units
This chapter covers the latest findings about masonry units. The environmental impacts of the fired-clay brick industry are reviewed. This chapter addresses the case of fired clay bricks and of concrete blocks containing industrial wastes. The advantages of unfired-clay bricks are discussed. Masonry units with optimized shape for enhanced thermal and acoustical performance are also analyzed.
