Assessment Influence of Microwave Heating on a Physical Properties of Dried Clay Bricks Compared with Conventional Methods

The current state of brick manufacturing process is still very traditional where drying of clay brick takes very long time and labour intensive. Adding to this problem, uneven heating during drying and firing affect a lot to bricks quality which often cause cracks. This paper aims to evaluate the ef...
