The analysis of structural and deformational parameters of building ceramics from Dysna clay

Abstract

Considering the climate conditions in Lithuania, it is expedient to manufacture structural ceramics which both is frost resistance while in exploitation and has adequate porosity. Dysna clay was selected for that purpose, and four sample batches of structural ceramics were produced using additives and fired. Experiments helped to determine the structural and deformational parameters. The cycles of exploitation frost resistance were calculated using the fast forecasting methods. Dysna clay and additives were determined to be suitable for production of both porous and sintered ceramics. The analysis of deformational indicators revealed a trend that the values of deformational parameters are typically negative for durable ceramics.
