Mechanical characterization of Raw-Perlite Solid Bricks for use in construction

Abstract In San Antonio de los Cobres located to the west of Salta, Argentine, the residents resort to the use of Adobe bricks to build their houses. Such masonry is made by the residents themselves using old building techniques whose principal material is clay. At present, this material turns out t...
