Özet

The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of diatomite addition on the properties of fired clay brick. Diatomite and clay were taken from the province of Afyon, Turkey. Diatomite was added into the brick clay up to 60 % by weight.. Six different mixtures of unperforated cubic test samples (dimensions of 10x 10 x 10 cm) were produced by an extrusion process. The samples were fired at 900 degrees C.
