Where to put the old brick in the country. Tips on how to use old brick. Cellar walls

Brick as a building material has been used for many centuries. Brick battle is obtained by demolishing old brick buildings and engineering structures, as well as when rejecting defective products directly at the factories. A small percentage of the fight inevitably occurs during masonry.

In any city, a lot of buildings that have served their time, most of the five-story "Khrushchev" buildings, according to which, so far, only in Moscow, a housing program for the resettlement of residents with the demolition of old buildings has been adopted, is also made of brick. Huge volumes of concrete and brick battle are obtained. It is unprofitable and inexpedient to dispose of this raw material, as it happened before, therefore, more and more enterprises and industries appear, where raw materials are crushed using special equipment.

The obtained secondary material can be successfully used in many areas of construction. Consider what secondary brick raw materials are and where it can be used.

Types of secondary brick raw materials

Brick battle retains all the basic properties of the primary material. There are the following types of combat:

ceramic, characterized by low moisture absorption, good performance in frost resistance and high density. Weight m³ from solid feedstock 2000, and hollow up to 1400 kg;
silicate, has low frost resistance and absorbs moisture well. The weight of m³ of pebbles from materials that do not contain voids is 1.8 ... 1.95 tons, and the weight of hollow products is from 1.1 to 1.6 tons;
fireclay, characterized by high refractory properties and low ability to absorb moisture.

The battle building bricks, according to the size of the obtained pebbles, is divided into the following fractions:

small - ≤ 20 mm:
medium - 20 ... 40 mm:
large - from 40 to 100 mm.

Before separation into fractions with the help of special sieves, the raw material is thoroughly cleaned of foreign inclusions and debris. In individual construction, an uncleaned brick battle can often be used, containing parts different types brick materials, concrete inclusions and reinforcement.

The thermal conductivity of all considered varieties is characterized by close values.

The increase in demand for scrap is due to the following reasons:

constant growth of the already quite high cost of aggregates (crushed stone, gravel, natural sand, expanded clay and others);
in the process of masonry, a brick battle is always formed;
on many plots acquired for individual construction, there are old buildings that have served their time, interfering with new construction and subject to indispensable dismantling. It is easier to use the obtained secondary raw materials than to incur additional financial costs for its removal from the site;
constant growth in the city of buildings to be dismantled.

Available pros and cons of using

Advantages:

junk cost after dismantling brick buildings with your own hands and significantly lower, compared with other aggregates, when buying ready-made scrap;
sufficiently high strength indicators, higher than those of cellular concrete and wood;
good heat, sound insulation and frost resistance;
incombustibility and not maintaining active combustion;
applicability regardless of weather conditions;
brick fight provides good drainage;
environmental friendliness, due to the manufacture of natural ingredients, with 100% safety for human health and the absence negative impact on the environment;
light weight of the material that does not require the use of special technical means and causing simplicity and speed of delivery to the installation site.

Disadvantages: it can be used for laying walls, but the work is highly laborious and time-consuming, each brick will have to be cleaned of the remnants of the old mortar. There is also a significant increase in the consumption of new mortar and mandatory reinforced masonry reinforcement to avoid cracks.

What can be made from recycled material

Arrangement of heat and sound insulating backfill during the installation of well masonry walls. Often used silicate chips.
In the construction of local roads, as a base for the main coating, especially in swampy areas. Granite gravel is poured over the scrap, on which asphalt is laid. On such roads, it is permissible to add purified fractional crumbs in the preparation of an asphalt mixture. in winter and late autumn temporary roads in rural areas can be constructed entirely from broken bricks.
Backfilling of the road to suburban areas with ceramic quarry, backfilling of pits and potholes during the repair of the constructed existing road.
Strengthening the soil on steep slopes.
Apply as drainage layers in swampy soils, the underlying layer in trenches when laying engineering communications.
Used when pouring a blind area around the perimeter of buildings.
Temporary broken brick road to construction sites. Such an entrance will last for several years, and then it can be used as a base for laying a permanent coating.
large pieces ceramic products good at performing various landscape works. Can be built alpine slide, using scrap as a reinforced base, issue garden beds, the banks of a dry stream or garden paths. Small fractions are used to fill the tracks, and original patterns and compositions can be laid out from medium and large ones by tamping the crumb into a compacted sand preparation or cement-sand mortar. In this case, only clinker, hyperpressed or high-quality scrap can be used. ceramic brick which guarantees the durability of the coating.
A durable road to the site, in the absence of significant loads that can last more than 10 years, can be obtained using fragments of clinker material.
Fireclay material crushed into various fractions is used as a filler in refractory mortars.
For the manufacture of gabions - rectangular boxes filled with stone rubble and broken bricks made of steel mesh.
Replacing part of the rubble with a brick fight when cooking concrete mixtures. Concrete high class it will not be possible to obtain, but for non-responsible structures such a mixture can be used subject to following conditions:
- only ceramic scrap is suitable:
- be sure to break the pieces with a sledgehammer to medium grinding;
- it is permissible to add no more than 1/3 of the volume of crushed stone;
- such concrete should be concentrated in the middle of structures to reduce moisture absorption.
It is unacceptable to arrange a broken brick foundation for residential buildings, but it can be used for various non-essential outbuildings, fences, recreation areas, gazebos, etc. Often broken brick used when installing fence posts. To do this, after installing the pillar, a brick battle is poured into the pit with the pillar installed, compacted and poured cement mortar. This is a simple, reliable, durable and cheap solution.

In conclusion: secondary brick raw materials, due to the cheapness of the material, can be rationally used, but only in the construction of structures without mandatory compliance with the requirements of GOST and building codes and rules.

Garbage in the country is always a hindrance, especially in autumn period when you want to clean the cottage and leave it clean until spring. But a variety of trash is not so useless, because it can be used for your own needs. So, today we are talking about the benefits of garbage in the country, no matter how trite it may sound.

It is also interesting that window sills should not be thrown away. They can always turn into garden paths. Naturally, this is not The best decision, since the appearance of such products is far from attractive. But there is an option to place such paths in the utility yard, in the puddle zone or in a similar place.

You can also use old window sills in the form of borders, as a basis for installing something, the same summer shower, well, or if they are generally in an unusable condition, then break the window sills into small pieces and use them already as construction debris.

If only useless garbage remains in the country, you can simply burn it, or take it to a landfill.

Useful garbage exists in the country, and now we know exactly what to do with it. Therefore, do not rush to throw away something that at first glance has no value.

Brick battle refers to building materials of secondary origin, therefore it refers to a cheap product. Replacing expensive raw materials with it allows you to save material resources, while durability and aesthetics remain at a decent level. When is it appropriate to use a brick fight?

Where does brick fight come from
It is formed either during repairs, demolitions, construction of buildings, or directly in the process of brick production. With poor-quality processing, for example, unsuccessful drying, poor pressing, insufficient or vice versa - very strong firing, a lot of marriage appears, which is classified as chipped brick.

The appearance of marriage can also be caused by various deformations - chips, cracks, inclusions of limestone, etc. The latter is present because clay deposits are often found near limestone deposits. If the clay is not cleaned enough, the brick becomes not as strong as the standards require, cracks and forms a large number of brick fight.

The characteristics of broken stone are slightly inferior to other types of secondary materials, which is why its scope is limited. Nevertheless, it remains a durable frost-resistant material with high noise and heat insulation.

Types and applications
By fractions, the brick battle is divided into small (0-20 mm), medium (20-40 mm) and large (40-100 mm). Sometimes fractions of 0-100 and 0-300 mm are isolated. They are determined by sifting directly during the crushing process. You can buy crushed stone at crushing and screening complexes and factories where bricks are produced.

There are few areas of application for this material:
Firstly, this is the construction of roads, backfilling, the organization of railway embankments and the strengthening of field roads.
Secondly, the construction of access roads at construction sites.
Thirdly, backfilling of trenches, mines, wells, pits.
Fourthly, use as an insulating pillow in the construction of walls.
One of its most important areas of application is the function of a drainage cushion in wetlands (both when laying roads and when constructing buildings).

AT rural areas brick breakage, in particular its smallest fraction, is actively used for filling holes on country roads, for arranging paths and how drainage system on the garden plots. Trench with a slope to the side drainage well fall asleep with a brick battle, from above - with gravel, and the most upper layer made from soil. Thanks to the good drainage properties of this inert secondary material, the system lasts for many years.

Today, brick breakage can be used as a cushion for industrial floors, order floors from professionals at lobtech.ru. As a rule, the fight is not disposed of and is not classified as garbage, as it used to be, but is increasingly being used in construction as an excellent alternative to expensive material. It can replace crushed stone or gravel when cooking concrete solutions and thereby significantly reduce the cost of work.

Of course, we are talking about durable bricks. Those that crumble from light blows are not suitable, for example, for paving paths. But they may come in handy in other ways.

Some ideas can simply be built with bricks. Some will require bricklaying and mortar skills. You can entrust this to specialists, or you can learn how to do it yourself: when else will such an opportunity present itself? In the end, do not build an aqueduct, the reliability of a Roman bridge is not required here.

Brick fight or brick chips - where they use, dignity

At the industrial level, brick fighting is produced by using special crushing machines. The brick fight is then sifted into fractions. Brick scrap can be bought at crushing and screening complexes or brick factories. Also, the brick fight remains on the construction site after masonry works in the construction of walls and partitions of buildings.

There are the following types of brick fight depending on the faction size:

screening - particle size 0 ... 10 mm;
fine fraction - particle size 0 ... 20 mm;
middle fraction - particle size 20 ... 40 mm;
coarse fraction - particle size 40 ... 100 mm or 40 ... 70 mm;
sometimes there are fractions of brick battle with particles of 0 ... 100 mm and 0 ... 300 mm.

The relevance of the use of brick fighting is growing every year for several reasons:

The high cost of crushed stone and other aggregates.
A large number of dismantled old brick buildings and structures.
Purchased private plots often have brick buildings that need to be dismantled, and you need to spend extra money for the removal of construction waste.
When performing masonry work, there is always a brick battle and rubble.

Depending on the material from which the resulting brick battle, there are the following types of it:

red brick brick fight;
brick fight out silicate brick;
brick battle from fireclay bricks.

The most common option is a red brick battle. Silicate brick batt has low frost resistance.

Where can you apply a brick fight?

Options for the use of brick fighting at a construction site:

as a material for backfilling dirt roads, temporary access roads to a construction site;
as a backfill for the foundation of garden paths;
as backfill for wells, pits, trenches, gaps between the foundation and the ground;
as an additional or main aggregate for concrete (making foundations for small buildings, concrete walkways, foundation for a fence, etc.);
as a filler in three-layer walls (for example, during the construction of well masonry walls) to increase the sound and heat insulation properties of the wall;
as a soundproof backfill for wooden floors;
as decorative material for decoration flower beds, alpine slides;
for strengthening soils on slopes;
as a drainage layer on wetlands.
