Comparison of Compressive and Tensile Strength of Baked ...
construction material to replace reinforced cement concrete. The compressive strength of baked clay can be improved by compaction and firing [16]-[20]. Average com-pressive strength of baked clay as high as 30 MPa can be obtained by firing at 1100˚C [19]. Whereas, the design cube crushing strength of normal concrete is 20 MPa .
