The building materi-als considered here are stabilized soil bricks using the locally availableunder-utilized resources. Firing these bricks makes them hard, strong,dense and durable. Over-firing leads to the formation of Zhama bricks.Clay/Lime bricks give the best results when left un-watered during set-ting and then fired at 1073K for 10 hours. Clay/Lime ratio supple-mented with some sand gives even a better resultenAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/BuildingArticle
